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.

Philippe Park and The Tocobaga Indian Mound

About ten miles or so north of Bedlam is a place called Safety Harbor.  Its the place that has the 300-500 year old oak that the city tried to kill I featured a couple weeks ago on BFE .  They have a pretty nice park that has some interesting history, too.  Count  Philippe landed here and introduced the pineapple and cigar making to the Tampa Bay area. Today, however, I want to mention something else about this area, besides the really nice scenery.  Phillipe Park was also the home of the Tocobaga Indians.  The Tocobaga occupied the Tampa Bay area from around 600 A.D. to the 1600's.   This is a fairly common view of old stately moss-laden oaks down here.   This shot was taken atop the only Tocobaga Indian mound in the area.  This exact spot is home not only to the Tocobaga until they died out, but then to Count Phillipi who settled the area after the Tocobaga died out.   The place is full of oak and ...

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 f...

Warsaw Brewery

Roadtrip!  That word is like a dog whistle to me.  The Wombie's played coy with me a couple days but finally we loaded into the Chevy (sadly, no Jeep) and headed south to Warsaw, Illinois.  They tried to keep it a secret as to what was down there but loose lips  sink ships but it was good anyway. Warsaw is a small town around Hamilton and to get there you get to travel the Great River Road along the Mississippi. You get to go through Nauvoo, too and get to see the magnificent Mormon Temple overlooking the river. Its a great couple hours of scenery and juicy things to see and then, before you know it, you are trying to find an old closed brewery that has been transformed into a restaurant and bar. There are many overlooks and scenic cut outs along the Great River Road.   There is even a little history if you are into it.  This marker notes the place where a vanished town, Montebello, used to exist.  It was also the...
