Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 08, 2013

And woe unto the neighbor that should step between them!

Bev…. be very careful….

The Monkey doesn’t seem to trust this fellow.

Hey, I think I must have made my last post on the wrong side of the turn…

I was talking to the Monkey, actually, about the grinder lid…. but he may have missed it and gone to bed….so I’m going to say it again….

Monkey!Great to see you….

Hey, I don’t think these guys know just how BIG that grinder is!

And the lid was on it last time I saw it…..hmmm….too cold for those kids to have “borrowed” it again for a raft on Lake Ballard…..

Have you seen anybody sliding down any hills?

Do you know that new monkey?Has he ever been known to go dirt-boarding?

Meanwhile…. I didn’t know we had limits on flash photography….

Someone had better tell StelBel!

Speaking of which….I snapped this of the Sheriff and his big grinder…

He’s so proud of it.I’m privileged to be allowed to run it.

(That’s what he told me, honest!)

And lucky me… I get to clean it….

Oh, Bev… sorry to repeat myself….I was afraid the Monkey didn’t see it.

If I see Munkywrench, I’ll tell him….but I do think you’re playing with fire…or… er….well, something monkeyish…. but I don’t want to say.

It IS a really pretty drink…..but I’m scared to drink one.

I still have to finish my shift!

Wonder what that white thing is, on top of the cherry.

For a moment I thought there was a bottle of nail polish in it.

Arguments between the Bellamy twins are rare….but when they do start to snap at each other, it’s always over in a flash.

In fact, nobody can picture them really fighting….nothing like that ever seems to develop.

Well, if he’s anything like our Monkey, it’ll be gone before he has time to notice the finer points….

And if he does notice a chunk he doesn’t like, he’ll just fling it at somebody.

You know how often I’ve had to remind the Sheriff that humans don’t like being hit by flying debris….not fruit, not mud, and especially not….you know.

And yak rib bones can hurt somebody!

It’s not a privilege, it’s a responsibility.

The Bellamy Twins give a whole new meaning to digital " selfies "!Bev, I know you’re probably asleep at the moment, but I wanted you to know that Sherif(We’re glad he’s back !)MunkyBluz has asked me to keep my eye out ( no pun intended ) for a certain Simian Mechanical Tool.I’ve put my best men, I. Seekum and Hugh Ketchum, on the job. You’ll be the first to know what we find out.

hey sherriff, mom is wanting her grinder back. she said she needs it to wash your clothes. its the only thing that will get the stains out of your undies. I will be at the bar as soon as I get a case of tanduay from the Philippines. its due anytime. (the sherriff use to visit there often, just ask the women)

Hmmmm. Methinks there be a troll under the bridge.

Photojournalist training.For TMZ, paparazzi, just plain annoying.These two use to stare at the sun for long hours.Mom switched them to camera flash attachments.They kept getting sun burnt.

I’m pretty sure that white thing is a sugar cube, possibly soaked in that tanduay. That’s one heck of a big drink, Bev, even if it’s a small pineapple. Be careful; that would be dangerous if it’s strong enough to taste of anything like rum. I stick to little drinks if they’re sweet (like Kahlua and brandy). Margaritas are fairly safe for me though because I don’t like that much salt or sour (never have more than 2 of the big ones).

Battle of the Selfies?

(Sigh*)….Welll…. Ah gess teh Munkeys outta teh bag….Sew ta speek…. He wuz bound tew show up sooner oar layder…Wile ah can’t denile the sertin simian semblance, ah still main tang teht one uv us wuz dopted… An wile ah wuz nown tew stop in da filipeen eyelans in teh erly daze as a sayler in mah naval daze, ah don’t have mutch rekolekshun of eny munky shines an dint bring bak eny thin teht ah cudnt wash off….

Tanks fer washin watchin mah bak SuSun..!!!

Thank you Stel…!!! That’s very thoughtful and sweet..!!!Looks like the neuro docs are agreeing that it’s safe to transport back to TX soon… My bro (aka MW) will be taking him in the next week as soon as facility arrangements are made…..

It’s the real deal, that’s what everyone is looking for. Oh I know to the casual observer it looks like fun, or if you’re fussy enough you might put a stop to it. It’s been said they are peculiar, other have said shameful, of course with the Bellamy twins most of what is said ends with “bless their hearts”. You see they got on the right train, but they missed their stop. And now it’s wide open on a fast track. No stopping them now, even the root cause is not a big enough idea to even slow them down. Good thing it’s a digital world, just plug in the battery for another four hours of fun filled delight, sprinkled with joy, no worries and tall tales of how it use to be. Them Bellamy brothers got it going on.

Has everybody here had a little too much to drink……or am I losing it. It’s all suddenly a bit too bizarre, even for me.

I remember our old friend in the Philippines, but I can’t remember his name….was it Eclectic something? He’d be able to tell us about Tanduay. What happened to him…..nothing serious, I hope.

tanduay is the bestest ruhm ever made, I know the sherriff has some cuz he confiscated the last bottle I had. its taste is soooo smooth. it goes great with my “rumaki”, …a small piece of chicken with a slice of jalapeno and wraped with a half slice of bacon. then dipped in soy sauce and put on the grill. I know the sherriff likes them. maybe the tiki bar will also serve GIANT hot links stuffed with jalapenos, wraped in bacon and put on a toasted hogie bun. then wash it down with tanduay. that would be great.i think they would be a big hit with the customers.

Just stopped in for a quickie. Something did not agree with my tummy today (very odd with all vegetarian, did not even use any TVP today) so unless that bottled egg white is off (and I just bought it, does not smell and has a sell by in December), I’ll blame it on the new vitamin powder my Dr. sold me (skip that tomorrow). Going straight to my herbal tea. Actually the cantaloupe was a little TOO green in breakfast, so I cut it smaller and doused with lime juice but ? My digestion is usually cast iron ;-D

I remember that name, Edclectic. Hope Pcolli does not remain depressed. I always keep smiling in my life so I never get depressed.

Flash

Thanks, Happy! I was about to go upstairs but so glad I watched the clip. I love that the children were enjoying so much as well, and so many knew the words (ashamed to admit I don’t).

I think it is safe to say that their lives flash before their eyes on a regular basis, NIGHT-GAUNT.

Groan…
