Cub Reporter Monday

My niece, Amy, submitted this dramatic truck fire somewhere in Indianapolis. Well, I lied. Her mother sent it to me. Amy was on her way to work, and like the photo hound she is, she had her camera at the ready, and was able to drive and snap this pic all at the same time. Perfect for Cub Reporter Mondays. No one was hurt in the blaze. Besides all that, what a great picture. You would think someone with a fine camera and talent like that would have her own blog. (This is called twisting an arm. When she was down a few weeks ago I saw some of her pictures and d tried convincing her to display them in this medium. So far I have not been successful.)

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - All lanes of northbound I-465 are moving slowly near Rockville Road due to a semi truck on fire, according to INDOT.

Indiana State Police Dispatchers say the right lanes will be blocked for about 30 minutes near mile marker 13.

No injuries have been reported at this time.

Expect delays as you travel in this area.

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

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
