Tuesday Tidbits

1.  A breakfast without sausage is like a shower without soap.

 2.  My fantasy team is off to an 1-4 start, but I am sticking with them.  I think as the summer warms up they will kick it in gear.  But percentage wise, it's tough to come back after that kind of start to the season.  Maybe this year will be one of the rare ones where real baseball beats the fake stuff.

One change made was the team name.  Out is Fighting Flamingoes and in is Black Flamingo.  Maybe that will add some intimidation and needed fear.

 3.  Spa Day?  



Seen on the road to Bedlam.
Hmmm.  Wonder what this is all about? 

4.   Who Knew?



5.  Profitable Walk


The streets down here are paved with copper.  For some reason Floridians toss their pennies out on the streets and sidewalks, and I come along and scoop them up.  I took a nice walk last week and found either 4 cents or 3 1/2 depending on how you look at my haul.  Christopher, a friend up North who likes to look for treasures with his metal detector, has to do a lot of work to get his stuff.  Me?  Just walk down East Bay then Ulmerton and keep my eyes in the gutter.   Maybe it's time to expand this into a full post with tips on how you can become rich, too! 


6.  Went Dumpster Diving here at Bedlam last week and scored a set of knives in a butcher block and some baking sheets.  Woo Hoo!

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
