Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 11, 2024

Go figure

Not a bad choice…

Troy takes the measure of the day because he has nothing long enough to take the measure of himself.

A few less fig newtons and the measure will be less also.

Sure if you want an uneventful day. A Shot and a ham sandwich, now that’s a manly day!

I wonder if, and I hope that, Troy is conducting this little assessment post-mortem, so to speak. The other possibility is that he is prospectively forecasting what he expects from the day, and that’s unwise. Self-fulfilling prophecy.

Pumped up on sugar, I’d guess Ballard Street in store for some Troy style high jinks.

Troy doesn’t get past the question: Should I measure the day in Standard, Metric or Imperial?

Remember, Troy, “Measure twice, Seize once”…

I can’t say anything. I’m eating pumpkin spice roll with my coffee.

Good morning Balladeers!

Enjoy, Troy!

Secretly, Troy actually ponders Ginger from Gilligan’s Island and Fig’s brother, Wayne.

That works.

Love the expression!

I find it takes two Fig Newtons on Mondays, but on Sundays treat myself to a Gideon’s Bakehouse cookie, thinking the name must help

Troy will never measure up.

looks like the day’s not measuring up so far…

He’s not up to measure.

Good evening, Ballard Dears!

Looks like more than one fig newton is needed, or at least available.
