Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 25, 2023

Sadly, the caboose is no more.

Sally, it is necessary to cover little Wilber’s eyes, Gilbert is wearing pants so his caboose isn’t on display.

Lose the caboose.

And we are all better off for it.

The Caboose isn’t behind the train, it’s now behind Sally.

Like a good conductor, he wants to make sure everyone is on board with this.

Was it ever, really?

Where have all the loose cabooses gone? They ought to make a train of them, but don’t put one at the end.

Thank goodness, because I have never had much of one. I suffer from noassatall.

Good morning Balladeers!

Good to know .

Uncle Nat got loose from the calaboose to spread his message of the missing caboose.

If Howard Hughes had added an extension to his huge experimental plane, would it be the “Spruce Goose Caboose”? Let’s ask Gilbert…

This guy’s a rail know-it-all.

Don’t look him in the eye, little Clyde. That’s how the madness is passed.

Home grown nuggets of information is what makes little Wilber wise beyond his years.

Everything’s up to date in Kansas City! Tell ‘em about the Tella-phones and the dancin’ girls!

It nearly doubled the car-switching time to remove and reattach the caboose at railroad switching yards. I’m just saying …

HA! Generational mansplainin’

The train may not need a caboose, but we need it to sit down.

There seem to be many narrow bands of knowledge on BS.

Sally meant to cover little Wilburs ears, but her loose caboose distracted her. Gilbert is always mentioning distressing bits of information.

Good afternoon, Ballar_dears._
