Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 15, 2024

A losing battle?

Gail obsesses about her compulsion to obsess over things.

Ballard Street is not a good place for obsessing. Too much weird stuff!

It still beats a bad earworm.

I kinda like that decorative planter. If you look at it end on, there is a little pink …there.

Rather that than her hair-do.

Or Doilies.

decorative planters can be cool I have one of an old motorboat from the 50’s

Obsessing about obsessing. Reminds me of a funny scene in “The Big Bang Theory”:

[Sheldon is blathering on about Physics]

Penny: “Oh, come on, even you have to admit that’s Jibber-Jabber.”

Sheldon: “Interesting. Do you know where the phrase Jibber-Jabber comes from?”

Penny : “OMG, you’re about to Jibber-Jabber about Jibber-Jabber!”

Good morning Balladeers!

Gail fights her mind over what jar of peanuts to pull from the cabinet. Please don’t make it be about decorative Planters.

My mind ´works´ the same way. I feel for Gail.

More Gin Gail, keeping the mind numb is a well worn solution.

Somebody call PETA. :)

That might be relaxing.

I would rather obsess about a decorative planter than about long noses.

Good afternoon, Ballard Dears.

gail hasn’t yet worked out that it’s all in her mind…

Gail doesn’t want to think about Mr. Peanut and his impeccable sense of fashion.
