Dolphins Herding and Jumping For Joy

If you didn't already know, the Vinoy Park is one of my favorite places to go. Don't go as often now that I am in Bedlam, but every chance I get I like to swing over and see what is going on. It's a good place to catch dolphins and the day I was here was no exception.

What's with that one fish? Wow. Fight or Flight I guess. The dolphins are herding these fish (mullet?) into a bait ball close to the cement wall.

Don't know if you can see very well but all those darker moving things are a fish herd, and the dolphins were rounding them up for lunch.

I don't know if breaching applies to dolphins or not, but these guys were jumping out of the water for some reason. Not sure why, but it was kind of nice to see.

Now that's something you don't see very often in BFE.

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
