This And That

They sell bottles of soda with actual sugar in them down here now.  Brendan was sucking on this Dr. Pepper but he said he didn't care for it.


They give licenses to any one who has the money. 


Saw this guy in a creek on the way to brendan's.


This wild thing was spotted at the Wagon Wheel flea market.


This is an ancient microwave stuck in a corner at a second hand store.

Mackenzie and Brendan with the folks. 




This is a video I found on YouTube.

I came across this video of a group of people who saved a whale. It happened last Valentine's Day and, yes, they are a bunch of whale-huggers, and the red speedo is atrocious. But, imagine the thrill they got, and I must confess, thought it was pretty gosh darn cool.

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
