Tuesday Tidbits

1.  Picture of the Day


The Tybee Lighthouse, decked out for Memorial Day weekend.  This was taken by Jeff, my climbing buddy and resident of Tybee Island.  


2.  Picture of the Week


For those interested in the Norah Weekly Watch.  This is our attempt to be cutesy with the iPhone and the mirrors in the dining room.  Of course, when I say cutesy I mean Norah and certainly not the old guy she is sitting on.



3.  Tuesday Tidbit Theater



This is called the Gunfighter by Eric Kissack.  I thought it was entertaining.  Your take may be different.  We offer no iron-clad guarantees on Existing In BFE.   Oh, and it's probably not safe to have your 5 year old watch it.  

 4.  I have always kind of considered the 4th of July weekend as the halfway point in the summer.  Yikes!  This is going fast.

 5.  I read in the July 5th Tampa Bay Times that Pinellas County (St. Pete/Clearwater) has 6000 homeless people and half of them are children.

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.

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
