New Bike Addition, Near Miss in Russia, and Marine Artillery

I've been thinking about getting one of these for the new bike. What do ya think?

And while you are here, check out this video: copy and paste.

And finally, watch the sheer artistry of this Marine Artillery shooting at Camp lejueune.

Now for sheer fun watch these guys and the way they go about their job. It is sheer poetry watching them, almost like synchronized dancing. This 3 minute video will (or should) amaze you. Single out one guy and follow him do his work, time after time. Simply poetry in motion. Of course the big gun doesn't hurt either. Still wonder why we can't beat 50 bad guys in Afghanistan but that's a question for another day.

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
