Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 21, 2022

They’re buggy

The Swensons’ are now in the market for a super-sized bug zapper.

Nice bug light. Works great.

they’d rather make me question life

They need a taller fence

The Lipinkseys are harmless, but they do tend to buzz rather loudly in the middle of the night. I think I have some Raid somewhere……

The Pedersens like to indulge their moth-selves.

The Swensons have some mixed feelings:

… they’re thankful for the tall fence so they can’t see everything …

… and they’re disappointed that they can’t see everything.

OH Gloria have you seen the light. YES I’m fixated on it. Let’s go to the light together.

For those that appreciate the oddities of Ballard, this DOES increase their Property value for sure…!

Hey, suburban neighborhoods have often been the subject of discrimination lawsuits because realtors wouldn’t sell to anybody but WASPS.

And now they bring down property values?

Who knew.

’Bout time, though.

At least they aren’t hanging out under the streetlights. Driving has become so much safer since they installed their backyard light.

There goes the neighborhood

“You light up my life!”

Strange and weird happenings…..someone once told them to always go to the light and they have, since then…

The Swensons are also thinking that this is the perfect opportunity for a local Ballard Street SWAT Team RAID!…

I’m in a small village, neighbors either side keep it neat, and I have a green space buffer on one side. The other side is a collection of s-boxes that make a trailer park look appealing

He is serenading his wife by the light bulb: “Youuuu Light Up My Liiiiife.”

Quick Henry, the Flit!Attributed to Dr. Seuss, previous to writing children’s literature.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

In their old neighborhood, they were considered to be the local social butterflies.

did someone say Bud Light?

I’d prefer an HOA run by Karens than these two.

“Ma, fetch th’ Raid®…”

Since this is Ballard St, they may go up with neighbors like that.

The Swensons’ thoughts will also soon turn to considering relocation,

It appears that they’ve both defecating.

AAAAND, who’s goimg to pick up the pieces after the meltdown!!!
