How Can You Top A Bald Eagle?

Why, two bald eagles, of course.

I made the discovery as I was returning from the bay on my bicycle. I saw the giant nest and today there was I presume, mama and papa. I haven't seen any activity in the nest, but these two regal birds have taken residence at the Palm Royal cemetery. As noted earlier in the week on this blog, these Bald Eagles are residents of St. Pete. Going back and forth on the path as I do on a regular basis I check on my new pals quite often. They are no longer a secret as many stop by now to see them and take pics. It will be fun in the Spring to see if they have any babies. I'll let you know. And it explains why that bird I saw first just sat in that branch for almost an hour. It was his home, or at least pretty darn close. The nest is huge, the birds beautiful and regal, and they have a pretty sweet set-up here in the cemetery. And, as always, click on the picture to enlarge it.

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

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
