Strollin' Around Town

A juxtaposition of modern and ancient seafaring.

Sometimes the guy with the camera has to be somewhat cautious when taking pictures of people. You don't want to actually take them head-on if you think it may be invasive, used to humiliate or agitate. In this case, the lady had a cheesy little-girl kind of tiara. You actually see all types, and I decided she may have been a bit off-bubble, and so, a respectfully discrete pic was in order.

Here we have a football game going on. Not surprising since this was Super Bowl weekend. In fact there were at least 2 games going on at Vinoy. However, if you look closely you will notice that the participants are all female. Good for them.

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
