Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 02, 2009

Sure, why not?

Now you must sally forth and conquer.

I read Sally Forth every day but I’ve never read Conquer.

Whats wrong with that? Its better than knitting.

Stephen and Penelope are now well fortified to take an evening walk, when the Ballard Street dogs are on their worst behavior. But their footwear is a weak point, they may have the same problem that felled Achilles.

Got eight while waiting for Susan’s side-by side. I could keep looking but I need my beauty sleep. Night all.

Welcome, everybody, to another puzzling Saturday!

We’re here to solve and comment on the one you’ll find in

the Mar 3rd  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Which you can find on Sherpa…

or use the side by side version I made just for you…

Oh my…. panel two, Cleo is still holding her empty bowl.

I guess that’s not a difference.

Will the poor doggie go hungry?

Is Clara sitting on Klaude the cat?

(Trivia quiz question 1: Why do I ask?)

Solve the puzzle and… well, no…. you still won’t find out, I suppose.

But you’ll have some fun and entertainment.

Penny and Stephen would find plenty of people who think they’re making fine use of their time, if they join a re-enacter’s group, like the Ballard County Medieval Court Guild, which meets every other Saturday afternoon in the Silver Knight Room at the Tiki….

The Guild also becomes “actors” at the Green Mountain Renaissance Faire every September, 3 miles out Old Ballard Road, just past XTI.

Now, you will find other people who think the Medieval Court Guild is a waste of time…. but I  say… whatever floats your boat.

Or shines your armor.

Or buys a LOT of mead every Saturday at the Tiki.

In fact… why don’t we invite Penny and Stephen, and go sit in at their meeting, in a quiet corner, while we solve the puzzle.

They like visitors… and I like mead.

Trivia quiz Question 2: Anybody know a 1990’s TV couple named Penny and Stephen?

Get both right and I’ll treat you to a glass of mead… or a cup of coffee… or a ’nana dak.

Well, before Penny and Stephan poke me with them sharp things, I’d better post the solution to today’s Cleo & Co. puzzle.

And no peeking if you know what’s good for you.

No but it’s a change-up from our usual activities.

It is now. You eat too fast.

If you ask nicely Cleo you might get something good!!! Only 8 but I improved on the last few weeks!!!

I almost didn’t do this one, it’s the same image but with different differences. I got 8, but I look at these for a few minutes at most.

WooHoo! I had to come back two times with a “fresh” brain, but, I finally got them all! WooHoo!

I’ll echo SheMc about Cleo asking nicely. Something about catching flies with honey.

Ooh look! A new convenience food: “Couch potato in a can.” (Eight so far, but still looking!)
