Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 16, 2022

Either that, or he is practicing his break dancing routine. He appears to have broken that traffic barrier already.

Larry, didn’t you set that up just an hour ago?

Had a job maintaining the lights and barricades. I know that Larry gets around.

Larry doesn’t actually mind traffic barriers. It’s just that he fed up with too many pop-up ads and this is the only way he can take out his frustrations.

Mildred forbade him from doing that same thing to the computer monitors.

Nobody should mess with Larry’s morning walk.

Since Mildred is the ultimate external control, Larry has no choice but to take out his frustration on other forms of control. I give ol Millie about 37 seconds more before she yanks Larry back to the sidewalk.I

Call the Sheriff – that’s Town DPW Property he just tampered with!! And it’s clear Millie already knows this is a second offense…

Larry hasn’t been the same since they did away with Toledo Torches back in the mid 60’s.

Larry needs to embrace anger management’s message before he gets hurt.

All Larry was trying to do is open a lawn chair!

Chivalry is not dead.. Larry is clearing the way for his beloved Mildred. he’s gonna lay down his coat (and shirt and trousers) so she can cross that construction zone in style

Nobody tells Larry he can’t play in the mud!

Wait til he gets to the brick wall.

He may have just inadvertently created the Detour de France.

I feel that way, too; when I see mile after mile of orange barrels, cones, and construction saw-horses.

He doesn’t have much internal control either.

FREEDOM!

Larry has no self-control either.
