Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 15, 2023

In his youth, Ted dreamed of becoming a doctor…this is as close as he came.

He’s flocked, all right.

That creeps me out more than most of the outfits on Ballard Street.

This is why I don’t walk down that street. Had nightmares for a week I did….

Marjorie calls it something sonically quite similar.

It’s not Ted’s fault his elementary school’s era was informed by duck-and-cover drills.

Ted likes to duck around and find out.

hiding from his wife, I presume?

Ted is flocked up.

Ted is getting down! ♫Disco… disco duck…♪

Ted is just content as heck just standing there in the middle of his circle of whirligig wooden ducks. Neighbors Wally and June think he’s a silly goose.

Get the flock outa here

Is Ted a quack?

He’s “flocking crazy”. or close to it.

From heron, Ted will have no egrets.

Birds of a feather flock together….but not in this case…………

So much negativity.. every man secretly wants a place just like that to flock in. Fun fact, South of the equator the best place is on the North side of the house

And almost everyone else on Mallard (excuse me, Ballard) Street says “I won’t go near that flocking place!” (Except for those other flockers…)

Good morning Balladeers!

The only place where he can get away with ducking his responsibilities.

When Ted’s in his flocking place, he feels just ducky.

Flocking Ted…

It’s all BS, say I.
