Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 15, 2011

WAY too much!

I’ve been watching him all day and that’s all he does.

With the only mechanical advantage coming from the slope of the hill (and at least partly canceled by the extra friction), Ken’s actually getting a pretty good weights type workout on his arms and upper body.

Yeah, Ken’s not the only one with too much time on his hands.

…and calluses!

…or blisters

All the residents so far appear to be older citizens, so I’d guess Ballard Street is in a (very very large) retirement community where everyone has more than enough time.

and all a bit eccentric

hey Shytimes, don’t we all?

Ken’s just testing the slope. Next, he’ll move the anchor up about 100 feet and get a longer rope. Scuffy had better watch out, he’s about to take an unexpected ride to test out Ken’s theory.

Actually, I am surprised that no Ballard dogs are along for this experiment.

But if you want dogs, you can always find them at:

The Plods thickens… too much cake and pie yesterday?

Good morning, Ballardeers. Q Date: 367.98801.77

NATIONAL NAPPING DAY!

Clearly Ken is putting cartoon physics to the test.

PERRO gets a visit. Only one thing missing. His lace handkerchief to pull out of his sleeve to wave in front of his face to stave off the vapors.

Thanks again, Y’all. I’m gonna start my nap early today. (((((HUGS))))

He sure does!

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Plods, I’m sorry I missed your birthday, but I have not been able to sign on since Friday. The site wouldn’t recognize me and kept blocking me. So:

I HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT DAY! :-)
