Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 21, 2014

@ BevWait! don’t go to bed yet! I want to tell you I loved the little French Bulldog/ Bev? Oh, heck, she’s asleep. Boy, she falls asleep fast….sigh.

I’m trying, I’m trying….

All to few, and far between.

Okay – I’ve certainly had my Bulldog fix – if I needed one. Gus the bulldog is cute. Makes you wonder what they think. ****And if Chuck didn’t accept himself, then what??

OK, So Chuck is admiring lots of photos of . . . . ?His own image?His various accomplishments?His progeny?His friends?

I guess whatever it IS, if it makes him that happy and satisfiedit must be a good thing!

Today is my happiest day of the week (most of it with my sweetheart) so I’ll talk tomorrow. I just saw my Zillow listing last night for first time; photographer did a good job. I’d share, but I don’t want to share exact address with entire world.

Never let it be said that Chuck is lacking in affection.

X … could you make me some in blue, please? With bluebirds?

Paper copies? I’d like to duplicate the real thing with the song, although while the spokesman for Christies was showing them, I 1/2 expected them to also shoot a little 9GA bullet or such. (If it doesn’t shoot, how can they call it a gun?)

Chuck accepts that he would make a great table in an Italian restaurant if he knelt on the floor.

Piper the artistic bulldog ( one eyed) is amazing. All the videos are good.

Hold on to that moment Chuck! Maybe he can give Kyle a pep talk?

@ BevLooks like you’ve pretty much been holding down the fort at Ballard street…and it has gone to the dogs! I agree with Gus that an indoor pool would be nice on a day like today!

@ BevI would have been here though the week, but I’m still having computer difficulties. Couldn’t connect to the internet much lately…then couldn’t get signed in to gocomics…and, at the moment, can’t get the reply ‘button’ to work!!?? Maybe It will work if I just keep hitting it!

Chuck’s neighbor, Neal, kinda goes overboard when it comes to self-acceptance….

With all those doggies hanging around, I thought they might want some nice, crispy …uhm..guess I better whisper..or we’ll have a mob scene….bacon as a treat. Ooops!…guess these guys overheard me!

@ BevI Love the Singing Bird Pistols!I thought this automata was amazing, too…

I’m surprised that Ballard Street is sooo very quiet this evening! We had Tex-Mex food after church, and the portions were so large that I’ll have to eat the rest for lunch tomorrow… so I feel it’s time for a cup of coffee and a bit of relaxation…guess I’ll use my new self-stirring mug…

…after all, who wants to do all that work of stirring? Sooo 20th century…

@ Happy!Uh… WHAT kind of dog(???!!) is that?Ooops.. I better get a mop and some paper towels… I’ve spilled a bit.

Bunnydog…

Night all.

Twinkly and Happy… looks like a Reagle to me. Maybe a Jack Rabbel Terrier?

And Twinkly… in case you missed it and this is the problem…. “Reply” no longer works if the first (or only) thing in the post you’re responding to is an image…though replying to one with a video first is usually OK.

Meant to say muuuch earlier….. @Perkycat and Bev—-

Perkycat had asked “****And if Chuck didn’t accept himself, then what??”

Bev answered but actually I think if that happened, he would be returned to the sender, possibly with postage due, depending upon the original terms.

Usually people are accepted upon delivery. which happens at a very young age…but occasionally, it comes later.

OH… and Bev… I think you want the bird pistols “printed” at XTI…. even if it costs a lot more than just getting the file to “print” out yourself….

The materials include gold and gems, so your supplies would turn out to be prohibitively expensive ..I’m thinking maybe x_Tech can get them wholesale when XTI runs a big job….

or are you printing synthetic versions from your labs, X?If so…. a pair of robins with Bev’s music would be nice too.
