Tuesday Tidbits


I changed my mind and have decided to post this Tuesday Tidbit today.  Just a few items today, and hopefully more next week.



Something that may never happen again, and who would have ever thought it would in the first place:  2 Smart cars parked in front of the restaurant Seaton, Illinois.  



Nice to see that Doc Kingry, one of my Dad's friends was recognized by the village of Seaton with this plaque.  Doc was the veterinarian in town, a bit odd, but a family friend, as were his kids.



A classmate of mine, Kathy Lemon Jackson died while I was up here.  We just happened to drive by Sugar Grove cemetery as they were preparing for that day's funeral.  





Hurricane Hermine made a bit of a splash in my neck of the woods while I was gone.  That's my son-in-law Drew helping motorists get their cars out of the too-deep streets.  I like how he's lifting his skirt in the last one.




Alfred and Norah posing for a picture to be sent to Papa.



I like this picture of Alfred in that classic pose after being busted for stealing someone's iPad.

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
