Flashback Friday

One Christmas we got a card addressed simply "Marj and the Boys". No city, zip anything, just "Marj and the Boys". One of the pleasures of small town living, where, better or worse, everybody knows you. Here, then are more pics of the Boys.

I'm not sure what these poses next to the cars meant. This was the family 69 or 70 Pontiac Grand Prix and Phil wouldn't have been driving this car...

This is Mark next to Phil's 68 Camaro convertible. Mark would not have been driving this...

We would have been driving this. Our 67 Nova. We shared it. That's what twins do, I guess, but wheels are so important to kids in high school that this time-share experiment failed. I began driving my grandfather's Chevy Impala until I bought a 57 Volkswagen, I found in Aledo for $100. Now about that Chevy. V.G. was a chewer of Red Man and he'd drive real slow and check out people's crops. Every once in a while he'd spit some juice out the window. Sometimes the window wouldn't be down. So he had tobacco stains all over the window and along the back window, too where the wind would take it. It was almost impossible to get those stains off. But when I had the car I cleaned it up, waxed it like it was mine. It may have been a grampa 4-door but it was a gold chariot to me.

Notice the "SS" on the rear quarterpanel. It was a decal, the Nova was a 6-banger. But it was a great car, tight, solid and had some zip.

Another pic of the boys.

Same sitting, different pose.

My, what a handsome bunch.

Philippe Park and The Tocobaga Indian Mound

About ten miles or so north of Bedlam is a place called Safety Harbor. Its the place that has the 300-500 year old oak that the city tried to kill I featured a couple weeks ago on BFE . They have a pretty nice park that has some interesting history, too. Count Philippe landed here and introduced the pineapple and cigar making to the Tampa Bay area. Today, however, I want to mention something else about this area, besides the really nice scenery. Phillipe Park was also the home of the Tocobaga Indians. The Tocobaga occupied the Tampa Bay area from around 600 A.D. to the 1600's. This is a fairly common view of old stately moss-laden oaks down here. This shot was taken atop the only Tocobaga Indian mound in the area. This exact spot is home not only to the Tocobaga until they died out, but then to Count Phillipi who settled the area after the Tocobaga died out. The place is full of oak and ...

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 f...

Warsaw Brewery

Roadtrip! That word is like a dog whistle to me. The Wombie's played coy with me a couple days but finally we loaded into the Chevy (sadly, no Jeep) and headed south to Warsaw, Illinois. They tried to keep it a secret as to what was down there but loose lips sink ships but it was good anyway. Warsaw is a small town around Hamilton and to get there you get to travel the Great River Road along the Mississippi. You get to go through Nauvoo, too and get to see the magnificent Mormon Temple overlooking the river. Its a great couple hours of scenery and juicy things to see and then, before you know it, you are trying to find an old closed brewery that has been transformed into a restaurant and bar. There are many overlooks and scenic cut outs along the Great River Road. There is even a little history if you are into it. This marker notes the place where a vanished town, Montebello, used to exist. It was also the...
