More Pas-A-Grille

Artsy-fartsy Pas-a-grille area in St. Pete.


About 15 minutes south of where we are lies a neat place called Pas-A-Grille. It is a narrow strip of land jutting down into the Gulf. It's a ritzy place with neat shops and restaurants. We took a drive down last weekend (August 15) and glad we finally checked it out. Fun place: The Don Cesar hotel where Jon Bon Jovi stays when he is in the area, places where you board boats to go charter fishing and sunset cruises. We are going back next weekend for breakfast because I think there may even be a biker bar/grill that looked good. It is located on a small strip of land that juts into the Gulf. You can actually walk easily from one side to the other.


This nice bike was parked in front of a a neat looking bar-grill called Shadrack's. It's a Harley of course but it also had on the side 101 Screaming Eagle on the engine.

They make big flies down here.

Big, big flies!



This is also where St. Pete Beach is.



They make big beachgoers here, too.

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.

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
