EASTER HORROR - Something You See On The Beach You Wish You'd Never Seen

WARNING WARNING WARNING

You see, you all think life is grand in St. Pete. You think we head out on Easter morning to secure a nice spot on Sunset Beach, cooler with beverages, snacks and treats. You think we lay in the sun (or under our tent) and without a care in the world. You would be wrong. Yes, we headed out on Easter morning to Sunset Beach with cooler in tow. It was a great morning and crowds were down. Got the tent pitched and the beach rug and chairs in place. Time to settle in, check out the people, and take a dip. The meter is paid for all day so no hurry and nothing else to do but take in all the sights and sounds of the beach.

Tent is pitched, beach rug in place, and chairs about to be positioned.

Okay, using the cooler as a footrest, and hunkered down in my chair. Settling in for a long Easter day at the beach.

The crowd hasn't arrived yet and the Gulf is calm, the water is warm and all is well.

LAST WARNING - I'D TURN BACK IF I WERE YOU. OKAY, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

And then along comes this guy to bring me back to earth. He had his bling, he had his cowboy hat, and he had his...................................thong.

I'm speechless. Someone please give oxygen to Patty, my new friend in Creve Couer who didn't heed my warnings. Stewart, this is something you won't see at Lake Storey. For all that is Holy, do not try this at home or in public.

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
