Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for December 12, 2018

And very stylish they are…although it looks like they used the same pattern. I wonder if this is the “style of the month”?

They’ll make great bookends.

They seem to have ample room-especially in the heel, where Ballard feet are known to grow in unusual ways.

Their codenames are Yeti-1, Sasquatch, BF, …

OUCH!

They buy corn plasters at Costco in the BIG box!

Splinters are likely.

The Dutch started doing this years ago.

They look almost like wing tips. Maybe better.

I think I’d be uncomfortable in those…. wooden shoe?

There’s a splinter group over on South Ballard making miniature sandals…

but that branch is nut as poplar.

The final decision on style after whittling down all the choices.

And they’re smiling and meeting on my lawn again. I’m calling the police this time.

Those loafers are just standing around. They should saddle up and pump up the local economy. Those sneakers always slip back to Huckleberry’s lawn.

When walking down the sidewalk, the noise can be deafening.

He’s also a long standing member of The Ballard Street Cloggers and Cockroach Posse.

Good morning, Sheriff.

Eventful day today.

A new client this morning, and i’m donating blood this afternoon.

I’m also going to try to make contact with a contractor that does blueprinting and builds houses.

The guys have had to switch from Kiwi shoe polish to Mop-n-Glo …. They’re wearing Floorshines !

Next week, water skis.

Well…I suppose that’s one way to brag.

This could easily have been, “The members of the dirt shoe club monthly meeting elect Jim as their president.”

They better look out. Mrs Maypole has noticed her termite collection has gotten out of their habitats.

So are they made of mud, wood, cement? No one knows for sure.

Don’t let their apparent skills fool you. There are doors on the bottom to help them get them on and off.

And Roger carves his without the benefit of hands and arms.

And undergarments.

They’re quick… and dirty…

That shit eating grin seems to indicate he allready won. But I don’t know what!

Christmas eve dance is out of the question then!

Don’t be fooled. They didn’t carve those. They went walking through a cow pasture barefoot and collected fresh material. Allowing it to dry between each new application of material. Please note the ridges produced by this technique. Don’t ask how I know.

Walk on water with those..
