Tidbit Tuesday

1.  Last chance to get your Christmas tree on the blog on Christmas.  We did this last year and it was great seeing all of the pretty trees.  They represent the focal point of the holidays (or is it the kitchen?) in your home and I've never seen a bad one.   Send your pics to bfereporter@yahoo.com.  

 2.  Returned to Dr. Killjoy at the Orthopedic Center yesterday and, lucky me, it looks like the cortisone shot had little if any effect, so it looks like an MRI is in the future.  I told my humorless doc in this humorless place that maybe we should give PT a little time.  I go back January 16th so we'll see how the wing is at that time.  Speaking of humorless,  I suppose I don't need these guys to have much of it.  I mean, I don't need my pilots on Allegiant to be grab-assing, back slapping funny.  They have an important job to do and maybe its best they do it.  Guess I'll just stop with the quips and let these guys work on me.  Maybe my lines aren't funny.  Hmmm.  

 3.  No particular good post today, but I have a Christmas present for everyone who reads the blog.  Starting tomorrow there will be posts non-stop all the way through Christmas.  Even on the weekend.  Some will be of the Largo Botanical gardens that are lit up every year.  And I mean lit up.  Unbelievable.  Then there will be some reposts of stuff from Christmas past.  

 4.  I have my cam-cameras on and I see snow up North.  I am crestfallen to be missing winter once again, but whenever I get too depressed I just throw on my shorts and take a bike ride somewhere.  Hang in there till I get back.   Maybe if I can get some cheap tickets, I'll see you all in January.  

 5.  Hope, and I really mean it, everyone has a great Christmas.

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
