Sometimes Even A Blind Squirrel...

Every once in a great while, I take a picture of something I really really like. No great shakes for you guys, of course, but from my end, I am proud as Hell. I think we'll start a new feature called Sometimes Even A Blind Squirrel...

You know the routine, you accidentally do something that ends up being beyond your wildest expectation. It could be a golf shot, a gazebo you build for your son that ends up a second reincarnation of the Taj Mahal, or doing a project on Pinterest that amazes.

For this inaugural Sometimes Even A Blind Squirrel post, I present a picture I took that I didn't even know what was on it.

Setting: Waiting for the 4th of July fireworks at the Vinoy, I was taking some preliminary pictures trying to get the camera in focus. I simply pointed the camera, which was on the tripod, over to the airport area to take a test picture. When I glanced at it after I took it I simply looked at the features to make sure it was in focus, certainly not checking out anything else.

What Happened: I inadvertently got a picture of a firework from somewhere over on the left side. So what was taken as a throw-away pic, ended up as a rather stunning (in my opinion) picture. Not only was it perfectly focused, but also featured something that I might not have been able to do even if I wanted to. No pats on my back, it was all just a randomly fortunate picture.

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...

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 ...

The Mary Davis Home - Part 2

None of these pictures were taken by me, they came right from the MDH website. I am posting these so that friends who have never seen inside where I worked can gain access. After 27 years I have many stories, tales and acquaintances. But, I wouldn't know how to express them appropriately in a few paragraphs. I enjoyed 98% of my stay there and hope I made a difference in the lives of a fraction of the kids who entered. The original MDH at this site was just the front part. The large red-roofed area in back was added on in the 90's. This is the Jerry Carlton library. It was unofficially named after one of the counselors who truly loved the place. He passed away around 2002, I think. Mr. Farber looks like he is explaining a few things to a client. The classroom. Activity area with the gym behind the windows. Another shot of the classroom. It was a little different area to teach since we had 2 classes and 2 teachers i...
