2. Noticed the more aggressive commercials on TV? Burger King plastic head guy is actually breaking and entering, the Geico lizard steals a dollar from his boss, and a guy with a totata, or whatever it is, menacingly challenged about his sandwich. I can't say it enough: do not watch them, they suck your IQ. Grab a newspaper, DS or do push ups during commercials. That is time you cannot get back.


3. Go to the Tyrone Square Mall fairly often to see Kenzie at her New York & Company store. Contrary to Galesburg's Sandburg Mall, it is full of people. A common sight is young men holding their penises or a portion of pants close to their penises. From behind the pants are below their ass cheeks. Now imagine
buying pants 3 sizes too big and walk around all day keeping them up without a belt. Honestly I understand the Goth look, the piercings, raspberry colored hair and the tattoos around your neck, but this penis clutch, I just don't get.

4. I feel for the people using those battery-operated carts because of their varied medical problems. I do not feel for the people using them because they are fat. Get out of the electric recliner and walk.

5. Added to the list of addictions is tanning booths. Oh come on. Don't rank that as an addiction like drug or alcohol use, somehow that doesn't seem right.


6. Speaking of addictions, here is a young Tiger posing at the local Hooter's when he was just a kid and, apparently before his sex addiction.

Gosh, it almost looks like young Tiger here is thinking, "Oh, my what a fun time I'm going to have!"



7. What's up with people who start a sentence by saying "I mean". "I mean" is a claritive phrase to correct what you have already stated. How can you correct something not yet said? "I mean", "like", "you know", are the new "uhmmm" or "well" which seem to have been the sentence starter in the past. I have found myself doing it and I'm doing my damndest to stop. I will pause and formulate what I want to say and say it, without all those junk words. You all have permission to slap me when I fail. Slap gently.

8. How about people who are so cool, they keep their sunglasses on the back of their heads while they eat.

9. Something I see in every baseball game: a player hits a homer, or strikes out the side to win the game or even an RBI, and they raise their eyes to the sky and make a beseeching gesture with their arms to God/Jesus/passing cloud. I applaud these players and their close relationship with their Maker, but this is a game they are playing, not attending church.

10. I'm beginning to think I may be a little introverted.

11. Had a problem with possible ID theft (why anyone would choose me boggles the imagination) with a credit card and in my two calls talked to people obviously not from the U.S. I found myself saying yes, yes, yes, to things I didn't understand. Hard telling where my fraud claim will end up now. I'm told you can request someone who speaks English, but I didn't.

12. What about those poor Highland Park, Illinois basketball girls' team that can't go to Arizona to play because of "safety" reasons involving the new immigration laws there. Geez, these girls live in Chicago, can they be be less safe in Phoenix?

13. I almost always rip the packaging in cereal boxes so I have cereal going all over the place when I tip it over the bowl. It's aggravating. We can send men to the moon 40 years ago but we cant come up with sealable inner wraps for breakfast cereal.

14. People in positions of authority hate to have to change their positions.

15. What's all this about fruits and vegetables being the basics for good health? Pizza Hut, red meat, ice cream and chocolate are my favorites and never spent a day in a hospital.

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

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.

Florida Air Museum - Part 3

Welcome back to a pretty neat tour of the Florida Air Museum in Lakeland Florida.  There's a lot to see and a couple of the old Geezer Gold Wing guys are already sitting down instead of walking around looking at the exhibits. That's John who is wore out and making a call to his wife.  In all honesty, John was pretty well bushed before the ride.  He told me his daughter's family was down from one of the Carolina's with the grand kids and he must have played with them too much.   He's about to take off on his own and head for home, but he's going to miss a couple of neat things out on Hangar A.   But, before we walk over there, we have lots yet to see here.  If you saw The Aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Howard Hughes, you'll remember that he went up in a plane during the filming of one of his movies to prove a point about flying.  He crashed trying to execute a roll and this is a picture of the plane he crashed.  Note the propeller
