Friday Night Lights

If you are tired of the same old forensic TV show, or bored with the same formulaic laugh-track sitcom, then watch Friday Night Lights this Friday and get hooked on quality TV. Did you just read that correctly? Quality and TV in the same sentence? Yes, this series is starting its 4th season and it has been clinging on the cliff of cancellation since year one. That proves its quality. Lets face it, if its in the top 10 in ratings its dumbed-down TV. Dancing With the Stars, American Idol, CSI and NCIS dominate the ratings. Pablum for the masses. Watch a show that doesn't always end easy, or safe. Damn good adult drama that you'll want to get the previous episodes on Netflix. Or you can sit safely in that easy chair and watch lousy people dance, mediocre people sing or solve-a-murder-in-an-hour.

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
