Home Doggy Dog Week - Food and Other Random Pics from Home

Quesadilla Jalisco at Jalisco's in G-Burg. This is the ONLY Mexican food I like, and I not only like it, I LOVE it. I recommend this next time you are there.

I already waxed romantic about Whitey's at South Park Mall. It is decadent, diet-busting, and thick as fresh concrete. But it is what you should have before you die, that way you know you have savored the best of this life.

Jerry's Pizza is the absolutely best pizza pie I have ever had, and I have been on a lifelong quest for the perfect pizza. Until I find it, this will do just fine. OK, Davis Bros is 2nd.

Nancy's sibs: Patti, Nancy, Darryl, and Carolyn.

This is a truck that was parked outside the Best Western and provoked several stares from us. According to Rick McCutcheon who works at Alexis Fire, he helped build this baby and it is a staple at various major events and Super Bowls. It is a Satcom Rescue, which means it can pull signals from space. It is privately owned and he travels wherever requested. Apparently our wedding and reception was a big enough deal to bring him to town. Either that or they wanted to be able to verify my presence on the dance floor.

One of the highlights of the trip back was seeing my sister-in-law, Patti, who has lived in Indianapolis for over a decade. She and her daughter, Amy, were, as usual and expected, lots of fun to be around. Always have been. But don't mess with them. This is something they have tucked in their purses and if you want to feel warm piss run down your leg, just look threatening around them and you'll get your wish. This cheap but effective devise is a personal taser, and as you can see packs a wallop. For $15.00-17.00 you can arm yourself and never feel scared again. AND, it makes a lot more sense than that stupid concealed gun law, nobody dies.

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 f...

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. No...

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.
