Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 11, 2024

I blame Marg for this, he’s been doing this ever since he saw them playing jenga at Marg’s party last week.

T only thing that’s disheveled on Buddy is his Brain. And that goes back to 7th grade and the unfortunate contritemps buying school shoes. Tripped over the laces and crab-walked right off the Mezzanine.

He’s putting his heart and soles in it.

He should take a class in sheveling.

If Buddy’s not there and watching, a passing neighbor kid will often play a quick 1 pull “losing” game of Jenga on the shoes in his shoe rack.

Aww, Buddy is stacking up all his pointy toed shoes.

Good morning Balladeers!

Good Morning!! It’s Margarita Happy Hr for me today – YAY!!

How many shoes can a shoe-stacker stack, if a shoe-stacker could stack shoes? (And he can)

Is it common practice on Ballard St to have your shoe rack outside? Any advantage…

And so starts the tradition of the Shoe Cairns of Ballard Street. Now Buddy can find his way home by day (sight) and night (smell).

The shoes are always right where Buddy left ‘em.

Buddy is trying to invent a game for shoes to compete with horse shoes!

Buddy may have discovered a new fashion trend.

Is that a shoe tree? :)

Yes, it is indeed a shoe tree. Watch out for the squirrels, and OH NO, Here comes CactusBob to water it…

shoe racking is buddy’s sole hobby…

What’s the reasoning for Buddy having his shoe rack outside?

Buddy feels like a heel if he doesn’t get his jenga shoe pile just right.

Good night, Ballard Dears!

Good night, Chris Sherlock, wherever you are.
