ISS


This may be a bit of a tired repeat, but I get notices from NASA telling me when the International Space Station will be flying over head down here.  Usually I get the camera and try to do something with it, but so far, I have been disappointed with my ability to come up with much.  Last time it was over I did this.  Embarrassingly uncreative, huh?  I'll keep trying, though, maybe I'll accidentally do something worthwhile.  

As a side note, I have signed up for NASA to let me know when it is overhead in Northlandia.  If you see a slow clunky streak heading across a darkened field it's probably me waving at the Station.  If you are interested in getting these notices, type Spot The Station in your search browser.  







I know it's not much this Monday but, it will have to do.  We do have out editorial standards here at Existing In BFE and the staff almost rejected this entry as too skimpy, too devoid of meat for ultimate publication, but, alas, sometimes a morsel is enough to keep one going.  Let us hope that there are more interesting things to come.

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
