Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 15, 2023

so this was the inspiration for the “don’t let them know your next move” challenge lately?

A bad signal

Ben is blinkered.

Gloria thinks Ben is always in the dark.

I had someone in front of me like that. He finally cut it off, then cut it back on less than a minute later. He never did turn.

Ben needs more direction in his life.

Look at that little arrow on the dash. Sometimes it’s there and sometimes it not

No other reason other than it makes Gloria crazy. He got the idea from OldPine52, He does it to drive the rest of us crazy. “I CAN SEE THAT BLANKETY BLANK LIGHT THROUGG MY BLINDS! HEY! IM TRYING TO SLEEP OVER HERE”!

Annoying neighbor #12.

I would have thought the signal indicated Ben had an aim in mind, or at least a direction.

He’s taken a turn for the worse…he thinks…

There was a fellow once who circled the block 27 times because his blinker wouldn’t turn off

Ben was thrilled when later models came with four-way flashers.

Good way to wear out your battery.

Get over it, Ben. We all know you should’ve turned left at Albuquerque…

Good way to calm the mind – listen, click click,,click click.

Ben’s wife shadows him…….

♪♫

To every Ben (turn, turn, turn)

There is a reason (turn, turn, turn)…

♬♫

Are there any other ways to accentuate aimlessnesses? Like, this works at night but what to do in the daytime?

Maybe Ben is going to be a performance artist

Good morning Balladeers!

Since Ben lost his trench coat, this has become his version of “flashing”.

Ben needs help turning his life around.

Ben appears to prefer the left.

I think I’ll try that ~ might get me some direction.

Has Ben tried using the bat signal?

good ol’ ben, lights on, nobody at home…
