Another Odds and Ends Picture Day

I kid you not. This was a national Burger King campaign that somehow didn't last long just a few months ago. Subliminal or not so subliminal message here. Amazing the audacity and/or stupidity of ad gurus.

This guy was pulled over and ticketed for a helmet that doesn't conform to Florida safety standards. As long as he is able to see I'm not sure what the problem is/was. Personally I think he looks like an ass, but the ticket created quite stir down here.

"Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my closeup."

Jesus and cats love you.

Underwater Atomic detonation at Bikin Atoll. Dark spot in rising water to the right is formed by a ship that was parked there.

Kudos to photographer Mackenzie.

Summer Swim

It's Monday and the start of another work week. Except for me. I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers. These pics need no words. Why muddy the waters? They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley. The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter. If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one. But, please, no more.

Re-opening Was A Hoax

Flashback Friday

Class, Or Lack Thereof The Dwight Vice gravestone in Oquawka, Illinois. I bring this old chestnut out every so often just to remind me that class is classless. Dwight Vice was killed in his home near Oquawka in 2001. It was one of those things that can generate crime: two guys thought Dwight had a lot of money stashed at home because of his pot-selling sideline to supplement his fishing job. Not really one of those big drug deals gone-bad things. Marijuana was, according to the trial, about the only stuff Dwight sold. But these two guys barge into the house and killed Dwight and attempted to kill his 11 year old kid, Darryl, before they took off with what money they could find. His son, now 23, was stabbed in the back and left for dead. He survived and is wheelchair bound and has undergone several surgeries to repair his wounds. He will be paralyzed for life. None of this is pleasant. Reading the facts of the murder and attempted murder are most unpleasant
