Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 22, 2023

Well, in her defense, he did ask her if she thought he should get a toupee.

That made my eyes and nose itch. So much rug dust.

Well – Connie had asked Blaine to be careful with his pipe. Multiple times. Or at least to get rid of all those tobacco crumbs on the before-mentioned throw rug himself.

His reply? “I don’t see any.” Therefore she finally made him take a closer look.

I sense a cover-up here.

Nice form & a perfect throw, Connie…

She heard it said that some people sweep their mistakes under the rug and decided to try it.

Well, Blaine, you’ve been dismissed well and good!

Looks like he’s been dismassed, as well…

How many times have we told you? Do not discuss Politics with Connie!

Is Blaine in pain?

That’s a little harsh Connie, maybe a divorce would work better.

Out of sight, out of mind thinks Connie.

Apparently, it’s not enough to just pull the rug out from under him. :)

Good morning Balladeers and Tigressy!

Blaine has grown to like it so much, he’s developed a rug addiction.

Blaine’s experiment with modern phraseology, and asking Connie for a quick shag, triggers an unexpected result.

In all my days, I have never before seen anyone actually throw a throw rug

Was Blaine giving away the end of the novel?

A new take on the term ‘rug-rat’???

Connie is playing the Blaine game again…

Well, you don’t know what we can find…Why don’t you come with me, little girl…On a magic carpet ride.

Blaine has been swept under the carpet again.
