Tuesday Tidbits

New movie London Has Fallen has been blitzing the airwaves lately.  I counted 13 explosions, a wooden garroting,  and 6 handgun shots fired in  30 second ad.  If Hollywood does indeed reflect American taste and culture, we're screwed.

On a car at Bedlam.

I told her "no".

What I'm going to be running around in this summer.  The Wombie and Mrs. Wombie have a thing for Jeeps.  They just bought this pretty, bright little lime number last week for me to act cool in.  I'll miss the bumblebee, though.

++++++++++++++++ 




I was spellbound not only by the degenerative nature of the Republican debates, but also those few seconds when Cruz had something on his mouth.  It was a real hoot and holler time here at Bedlam.  I wondered if anyone else saw it?  Then I went to YouTube and found this.

 Tax day Sunday.  Turbo Tax does a great job.  It told me afterwards that my chances of getting audited was practically zero.  Yeah, sure. 

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


 I'm missing my cabin in the woods.  Oh, and I have a ticket for passage to Northlandia.  It's getting closer.  I have been bracing Norah for my absence.  

 +++++++++++++++++
Dr. Phlegm's office called and I am taking a substitute pharmacological mixture from a compound pharmacist for my nose.  The insurance company denied my previous prescription since they wouldn't approve this for anyone over the age of 4.  Idiots.  Turns out this is cheaper.  Who knew.

Breaking down in traffic at a busy intersection makes for a real crappy start to the day.  Damn.

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

Alfred went to the beach for the first time yesterday.  Here she is soaking up some shade under the beach tent. 

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

I wasn't really a big Reagan fan, nor was Nancy on my list of hope-to-meet people.  But I do admire her love for her husband.  What a lucky guy to have been loved so deeply.


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

    You told her "No" and she looks heartbroken. It does look like time at the beach washed away her pained look. I have tried to watch the last couple of Republican debates and I just cannot. It pains me as a lifelong Republican to see what the GOP has degenerated into over the past 20 years. They all talk about Reagan as if he was the second coming of Jesus. Truth be told the positions they take are direct affronts to the beliefs and practices of both of their alleged heroes.

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
