Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 01, 2015

That Murry is such a cut up. Beginning with changing his name from Murray to Murry because it sounded so much like Merry.Well he thought so.

…..and she certainly has a broad enough front to go with it.Bada Bing!

Murry’s playful side picks up along about 8pm, which leads to high jinks in the bathtub at 10…

since Bev is late…….besides he is so cute

On the other hand Perry isn’t playful at all, and didn’t the Sheriff warn him about dancing in furs? Pity those poor people who live next door. I think he is a Ship Captain or something.

Murry didn’t want to be playful, but he believes in astrology, so he has to obey.

Murry has always had a playful side….which, though she does enjoy it, now and then…Janice finally had to ask him to tone down inside the house….

Too much of her precious heirloom crockery was getting chipped or broken…and she decided she preferred a more quiet domicile.

So, leaving Janice to her quietude, Murry took his resolute playfulness outdoors…..

That is, until too many bits of Murry started getting broken.

Now, older and wiser…and a bit less energetic….he only gets playful when it’s ordained by the stars.

He feels safer that way.

Murry, on the other hand, is passive in his pursuits, nowadays. Never one to bother the neighbors with undue noise , he quietly follows the guidance of his stars and planets as he orbits his terrestrial territory.

Murry needs a dog about now.

He’s a playful looking little pup, isn’t he?

Fortunately, Murry had the foresight to bring a ball with him.

LingI’m so glad you caught that, I didn’t want to embarrass you by naming names. Stel would be glad to list your house.

Careful there me buckoo. The seas may be a bit calmer, and there not as much wind in my sails, but I still cut a mean jib.

As you well know, I wouldn’t be caught dead owning a polluting puffer of a hulk.

My galleon The Irish Rover® is as green as some of the passengers who’ve sailed on her. …Perhaps I’d better rephrase that ?

I can hear it now…..Hey sailor what ship do you sail on…Titan UranusYeah well I have been thinking about getting that done but really what ship are you sailing on??

Bad day in Oregon…..jeez, Oregon for crying out loud.It hurts.

Actually I think I see Number 6 in the there…….that does look like fun……Dodge ball on a larger scale.

On the dog…..the handler just said“SAY HELLO to my TOOTHY FRIEND!!”

hey… hoose bin usin teh grinder…???

On a serious note: Please pray for the victims of the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg Oregon. 10 dead and 7 wounded.what is the country coming to when you are not safe in your school? And why can people still obtain a gun so easily?It is a sad day…………….
