Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 23, 2024

Where are breezes bad?

The Lawzacowski’s next door are in favor of his landscaping since they no long can see him when he decides to do calisthenics on the porch wearing his speedo. the Steinhoffs on the other side of Jacob are envious of the Lawzacowski’s.

The Lawzacowskis ( really? Sigh) sun bathe wearing as little as possible, so that mound serves a dual purpose. The Treblelinks on the OTHER side of the Lawzacowskis have an 18 foot fence.

The kids in the neighborhood love to climb and play on Jacob’s Berm.

The Lawzacowski’s are in for a massive mudslide in their yard when the next big rain comes.

Looks like he was the recipient of a landslide.

Sure Jacob says it is landscaping, but really he doesn’t know how to get rid of his mole infestation.

Couldn’t have that in today’s world. Some slime lawyer would be there waiting to sue him for some kid scraping his knee. Life was much better when lawyers couldn’t advertise.

He can now read his paper in peace.

Except when the wind changes…

( –‸ლ)

As it turns out Jacob is a very lonely guy…………

Mighty fine idea.

One way to keep the nosy neighbours out!

Good morning Balladeers!

I’m guessing Jacob isn’t a Seals & Crofts fan?

Obviously there’s no HOA.

our former neighbor ran a construction company and actually did this. he bulldozed everything in the yard into a berm at the back end of the property. not to block the breeze. he wanted a flat space to park his huge mobile crane…

It’s also a readily defensible position when the Lawzacowskis come to complain…

There’ll be a mud slide next big rainfall.

Good night, Ballard Dears!
