Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 20, 2019

Well, maybe a tad more so than usual.

Dang! Once you offend one, crows will gang up and tell their buddies on you!

Maybe they’re the kind of crow that will leave a shiny object in trade.

It looks like a Murder . . . of Crows.

Aren’t they always? Just be glad they’re not magpies.

That book Ethel is reading must be pretty interesting,

Edgar’s going to find out just how long it takes to get to Muncie…. as the crow flies.

“He hasn’t moved for several hours now – must be dead. Let’s get him, guys!”

…..must be a very good book…..oy

Those guys are bad news! Every time they show up i hide in my hedges.

Probably bring him back when they find there is no one on Ballard street willing to pay even a handful of corn for his return.

Eat your heart out, Hitchcock!

Edgar is getting really creative with his excuses to hoist a few down at the Crow’s Nest…

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band,

And seen a needle wink its eye

But I be done seen about everything

When I see a a Ballard Streeter fly

When I see a a Ballard Streeter fly

Thus, Edgar Allan Poe came up with “The Birds,” once he was deposited unceremoniously for being too heavy.
