Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 15, 2009

Donuts. Gutdom those were fun. Never dogs involved, The actual Papal atronomer (I mean the real one), involved once.

Now I know who’s been messing up the high school football field!

OK Nighthawks. I dare you to push the Reply button!

Oh, goody! I love the button pushing ones! Claude can’t help himself.

How do you unpush a button that’s been pushed? He’s better off trying to build himself a time machine.

That was not “a” turn.

Good evening, all… please mentally adjust that to your time of arrival….

It’s always a good time to comment on

the march 15th  2019 “CLEO and COMPANY”

Appearing on Sherpa

One of the best (if not THE best) of the button-pushing Cleo strips…

especially because, in addition to nice animation and the prehistoric beasts,

there’s that lovely big “POOF!” … complete with colorful gradient fills and highlights.

Our accidental travelers are lucky that sauropods are generally vegan….

I think it’s s sauropod of some sort…. probably a small brontosaurus, maybe a youngster.

Oooh… maybe we shouldn’t tell them quite yet.

Let the button-pushing lesson sink in.

Riiight…. as if it ever will.

Hey!

Frank should be much more impressed with that turn!

In spite of the snow, it looks like Scooter did a double donut and still brought it home right beside the tree.

No smashed grille…. and I don’t see any fluids dripping out.

The question of intention still looms…. was it on purpose or the result of trying to make a right onto Jefferson in snowy conditions?

I say count your blessings, if the car is intact.

BTW… My phone and internet seem to be working ….. slow as ever but not down (knock wood….)

Yet no phone repair person came by today, after I waited through a four hour “window” and then some.

My ISP, Sonic.net, doesn’t do that work… the lines they lease belong to AT&T, so AT&T trucks come out.

I talked to a Sonic tech… we surmise that they flipped some switch in their office and tagged it “repaired.”

I was hoping for a diagnosis of my slooooow connection as well.

But I’m here!

As Claude and Cleo were walking up the sidewalk, who among us thought there was a single solitary chance in hell that Claude wasn’t gonna push that button?

I still love that cute dinosaur! Do I detect a quiver of panic in Cleo’s last statement?

Nice try, Cleo. Remember, you said ‘push it’. Why Claude listens to you, I don’t know.

Hey, C&C Family, our daughter called from the hospital (San Diego) a bit ago………..their baby was going to be born by C-section on the 25th. Because MMM has been too sick to fly, we have to miss the birth. Well, due to some minor complications, they’re doing the surgery tonight! WooHoo! Best part of it all is, today is MMM’s birthday! What a gift that is!

It’s a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All is well. We are waiting for just a bit to see him via FaceTime. And………..they named him after my MMM!!!! What a legacy! (can you tell we’re excited!?)
