Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 18, 2023

This has been true ever since he and Edna Mae were parked on lovers lane and she told him that she didn’t find him at all alluring.

If the folks in the Parks Dept, see what Chet is doing to that baby tree…..He will soon move to the bus bench.

Well, maybe beyond a little vitamen D on the back of his neck (if he didn’t apply too much sunscreen).

Chet is on the big downhill slide, he just doesn’t realize it

Sounds good.

How to Succeed in Business While Being Really Trying…

He doesn’t quite get the concept of working from his laptop.

Chet’s grandiose ideas needed a bigger space than the piddling Chamberpot of Commerce granted.

At least it gets him out of the house and his wife’s hair.

Good morning Balladeers!

However for Chet the park is better than an office…….

He seems to have everything he might need except a paperweight. :)

Field offices are always the best until it rains!

Be moving into a Starbucks once the mosquitoes come out.

Get used to sitting there. According to a popular cartoon trope, you’ll be sitting there in your retirement years.

Chet is the guy who, on his deathbed, wishes he had spent more time at the office.

chet likes to park his butt in the park…

Can’t be all bad — he’s a southpaw!

Chet likes to refer to the park as his branch office.
