Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 05, 2015

Arthur so wanted to be like the Stanleys , so carefree. Alas his nature combined with an iffy ground crew hinders his enjoyment of the world of flight. Bye, Arthur,

BevI’ve been standing out her for…..ever!are you going to invite me in or what?I brought the bribe you asked for…….

Mr. Higglepooder was one of the first in Ballard to hang glide. He went off Ballard Cliffs one day, and was never seen again. Lucky man.

First the site is up then down then up.I give up…

The Stanley’s are quite a couple…If some people are busy, the Stanley’s are busier…the same goes for adventurous, fun-loving, and creative.

Wow, are they creative!

They’ve never been willing to takethe idea of retirement lying down,so to speak…so along with all their recreational activities, they’ve invented several unusual small businesses.We’ve used this one several times…in fact, didn’t we once hire it for the Monkey’s birthday?

BTW I’m having a lot of trouble with the site tonight too….I posted on a couple of strips, then no more forums would open till about midnight (pacific time)Even then it has been off and on refusing to load some pages, or update comments.

Seems OK (knock wood) right now, but it’s time for me to get some sleep.

Some of the Stanley’s creative business ideas haven’t turned out exactly as planned.For example, their idea for a rapid rice cooker that they dubbed Stanley’s Steamer had a tendency to explode, sending a geyser of rice all over the kitchen.Not ones to be deterred by such a minor setback, with a little tweaking , they turned a lemon into lemonade by marketing it as a machine for throwing rice at weddings.

I had no idea, until now, that the Stanleys were members of The Chirch of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Good morning. FSM member here. Peace.

Mr. Stanley looks to be freestyling with his parasail. Let’s hope that that’s the only thing he’s freestyling with since he’s wearing shorts.

Bev That lady doing “something” to the dog, way up at the top of the forum………..what in heaven’s sake is she doing?

They guy with the dog and wingsuit recently died on a failed flight. His dog was not with him at the time.

@beviekLove the Boston terrier in the kiddie pools/ball pits. He is just having the time of his life, & his would-be schnauzer (?) pal is totally captivated by the whole spectacle. Meanwhile the other two are thinking “Geez, Barney’s into the balls again. Might as well go find someplace we can sit and enjoy a nice quiet chat.”

Stella Stanley appears to be executing a perfectly timed “flare” move. Steve appears to be preparing for a face-plant.

No Fear…….like a Boss.

Say, Rose….

I saw her asking you for even more cookies…but did she ever actually let you in??

Cos that I never saw.

So if you’re still standing outside in the cold, feel free to come to my salon.I’ll make you tea.

Thats not me.My too too is green…
