Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for June 25, 2013

Wow…. Bev is right…..

Nobody’s here!Fenton…. you look a little green around the gills…. are you OK?Yes, I can see why watching Lois AND Number Six would make a pers…. I mean a dog feel dizzy.

Poor doggie…. sit down for a few, and I’ll handle this enormous crowd.

Lois always DID seem to be going around in circles.

Maybe Marcus is right, though… yoga was calming her down.This new exercise seems to exaggerate her worst tendencies.

But whatever new fad piques her interest, she’s usually ready to turn to it…

That’s just how she rolls.

Couple of things from before the turn….

Radish…. silly me.Since you were replying to me, and you’ve said you’re from the East Bay,

I just figured you meant the Fremont we both know.

I’m not up on Seattle neighborhoods.

And the picture really does look like it could have been taken here…. or lots of places, I suppose.

Dazz… and anybody else curious about bandwidth and images…(if such a person exists…)

I posted a reply back there about it.

I’d also love some input from someone who knows more than I do..

New performer for the Circus du Rue Ballyard. (Had to give it a French ring)

Instead, he’s seeing her with vodka.

I tried that once. I tried that once. I tried that once. I I I I I …….pffffttttttttummp

Jerry’s seniors certainly find creative ways to stay in shape!

@sTeL@SuSunRe: “Stel…. whenever you get here…thanks, from yesterday….”

“And did the Monkey ever tell you the answer?It’s so frustrating!”+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++No…I never heard back, and I have to confess that I haven’t been able to concentrate on much else….-————-Sari… Fergot tew git bak to y’all… Seams lyke a case uh CRS… ummm,not shur….. Ahl chek in layder, if’n ah member…

I just posted an “appropriate” picture (one that I had posted several months ago) on yesterday’s comments, for anyone that is interested…..

I checked it and saw some weird stuff (nothing to my taste). That last photo from yesterday was a keeper, tho’ and thanks to Susan about the info on bankwidth.

What I got from the latter is that there is nothing much I can do other than post smaller files to Flickr (which I try to do) and I STILL think it may help after posting a whole bunch for a Birthday – to go back and delete when it’s done (in SCA we are always told “leave the place cleaner than you find it”). I love posting lots of photos and have a small portion on Flickr of what used to be HUGE files and albums on Webshots.

Dazz and others…

It makes NO sense to “clean up” old pages by removing pictures…. especially if they’re relevant, or somebody might still enjoy them in returning to something like a birthday, or Ballard County election day.

My post yesterday attempted to explain that if someone saw them the first time, they’re already cached (ie saved) on that person’s computer….

Unless the cache has been cleared, the computer will probably retrieve them internally rather than downloading again.

The percentage of NEW users checking out old pages, and therefore downloading the content, is probably miniscule, compared their viewing of current ones.

And I’m sure GoComics has already factored activity on old pages into their decisions…it’s the level of CURRENT use they care about.

A park or a beach re-opens every day in the same place…litter needs to be gone before new people arrive.

Our comments are NOT litter… and, unlike a park, the old forums are seldom used by new visitorsthough they are quite welcome to go back and look at them…

It’s the daily overall TRAFFIC that’s being monitored..

OK, I have a feeling Stel didn’t know she posted a giant exhortation to visit a strange website.

Apparently CraigBoyce.com (don’t bother going there) disallows image linking by replacing the picture with that message.

By grabbing the URL and doing a search…I found the picture I think she intended to post:

If not…. sorry Stel!

But it’s cute.

Wow, Stel…. so I found the right squirrel?Cool.

And no problem…I loves me a mystery….

Known in the hoop world as the hand and nose position, Lois has truly mastered the beautiful as well as the athletic. This morning she has skillfully cut her fifth concentric circle and to her surprise she has out done her personal best. Marcus is simply envious. He has never been as nimble, agile or lively as Lois. Confronted, confused and befuddled Marcus has canceled his day at the office and is heading straight for some A.M. ale. He can’t cut a hoop, but he can ride a stool.

Mysteries

Yes, Susan- I LOVE that you found what Stel planned to post (I was puzzled by that site, finding nothing that made sense for the strip) and I remember that you “found” me when I had vanished into the ether of PC lack of access. LOL

Hot spots…

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!
