Tuesday Tidbits


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Is it me or is the flag, these days, more at half staff than full?

I have taken quite a few photographs while in Northlandia and will be sorting them out when I return South on Saturday.  I may even take a week off from blogging, so brace yourselves.

Interesting video I came across.  A kid in a Chicago high school, earlier this year, took a video of fellow student reactions when she told them they were beautiful.  Pretty illuminating and in one instance, kind of scary.

 I had wished to give you a picture of Comet Catalina but, alas, I have found it elusive.  I'm sure I have it on my card somewhere but I won't be able to single it out until I return to the editing department down south.  Patience, Grasshopper.

As I have mentioned, Kenzie graduates from Saint Petersburg College with a B.A. in Business on Saturday. She has been at this for around a decade. She has neither asked for nor even mentioned any type of recognition from anyone. However, being a proud father I will give you her address for anyone wishing to extend any congratulations. Please, no gifts - she would be mortified.

Let's give her a BFE bump!

Monday morning (1:18 am) I made a bathroom call and while up I looked out the windows to see if all was well.  I saw a fox trot down 4th Avenue, right by my house and hang a right onto 7th Street.  I guess all was well.

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
