BFE Reporter Monday

BFE Reporter Monday

This is where I step aside and let you guys post.

Today marks the 1500th post of Existing In BFE.

Remember, there's no congratulations like self congratulations. You've never tooted a horn like your own. Patting yourself on the back is a gateway activity that can lead to overstimulation. Well, you get the drift.

And Now Today's BFE Reporter Monday

This was sent in by an anonymous submitter. In the center is a certain Wombie performing I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow by the Soggy Bottom Boys a week or so ago at the Oak View Country Club. Appearing on stage with him is his wife, Holly (L) and Mike Etheridge (R).

I'm shocked that there is even one iota of a performer gene in the Wombie although upon further reflection, I shouldn't be. He is amongst friends and has done this schtick once before about 7 years ago. I don't know what brought him out of retirement other than a need to receive adulation from his adoring fans.

I hear there is a video of this performance. Should it surface, even a bootleg version, I'll post it. For now, your imagination will have to suffice.

As you can well imagine, your Type B, severely introverted blog host never swoons towards a spotlight of any kind, sober or otherwise. I may have karaoked in the past, but age brings wisdom. And since I am a whole 7 minutes older, thus, wiser than the Wombie, I can claim a prescience beyond belief. As proof, I can tell Mark is going to look up the word "prescience". That, my friends, is prescience.

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
