Two Videos



While at Payless down the at the Park Place Mall in St. Pete, we were witness to a robbery.  A couple of thieves walked in right behind us, using us as a kind of shield, walked over and grabbed some shoes and took off by foot.  

The employee is at the door talking to the cops and watching them flee down toward Panerra Bread.  The poor employee was the only person working the store and the check- out is along a wall pretty far from the door.   






There is this pond right behind my apartment at bedlam.  I noticed this guy and his wife playing speedboat a week or so ago.  Looks like fun.  This water craft costs about $250 and he has three of them.  They go fast but drain their batteries pretty fast too, he said.  For that kind of money I'd rather have a quadcopter with a GoPro attached.  

All in all a fairly eventful weekend, as such things go here in Floriduh.

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
