Tuesday Tidbits


I must confess a secret.  I watch Judge Judy at 4:00 pm here in Floriduh.  It is my last hour babysitting and signals a brief break until Norah arrives from school.  She is more day's end than must-see TV.   Up in Northlandia I only have antenna TV so I get a lot of junk.  One of the free shows I get is Judge Judy.  I kind of got hooked.  I am not seeking professional help at this point but it is a possibility down the road.  I like how she chews on people.  Stupid people.  They need chewing.  Stupid usually can't be fixed but it can be exposed.    

I figure a few more months and I may be ready to take my Bar Exam.

Crappy way to start the day. 

++++++++++++++++++ 


Life will take hold anywhere.

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


One of my duties as Super Papa is to join Norah whenever she wishes to play Playdo.  I found myself daydreaming about my summer ride. 

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


Apparently my phone was turned off while Norah was trying to Facetime me.  I received this picture of Norah and Alfred in a state of panic.  You will be pleased to know that all is well, now.

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

I am assuming tomorrow, here in Floriduh and Northlandia, the airwaves will resume selling cars, pills and paper towels again.  

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

I have a 53 year old car, a 20 year old truck and a 10 year old motorcycle.  It would be nice to upgrade something. 

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

I am in four fantasy baseball leagues this year.  The oldest and my most favorite is the MDH league, a reincarnation of one that would have been 16 years old.  It still has 6 co-workers still in it.  My team name is the Fighting Flamingoes.  The other names are:  Oakview Ghosts, Satanic Bats and Bucket of Balls.  I have had 2 drafts so far with 2 yet to come.  No money, just pride.  I realize there is zero interest in my fantasy baseball teams, just thought you'd like to know how I spend 15 minutes every morning during the summer.

Jed!


As for me I am voting write-in for Jed Bartlett.  Harvard educated, two-term president so he knows his way around the West Wing.  Speaks Latin fluently and has done well with previous international crisis.  He knows the Bible but doesn't use it as a shield like Ted.  I am assuming his multiple sclerosis is in remission, and if not, even if he is incoherent and crappy flopping on the Oval Office rug he is still better than the other candidates.  He is someone I trust.   Since most of the candidates are in Fantasyland, no reason I can't be too.

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
