Causeway During the Day

Causeway During the Day - Part 2

I discovered the Courtney Campbell Causeway when I was incarcerated at Bedlam, By now you are familiar with it as well, as many posts have focused on the place, usually for night shots. Today's post gives you a glimpse of the place during the day. It's a favorite spot for fishing, walking, biking, jogging and sight-seeing.

This is part 2 of a piece I posted on February 8th.

One bird for each pylon. No more, no less.

There are two spans going over the Bay. One for traffic and the other for walkers/joggers and bikers.

Pelican, or can't.

"Damn your eyes! Get out there and wipe off the windshield, you lubber!" (For some reason "Damn your eyes" was a popular epithet back in the 1700's.

Jockeying for position.

It was a wonderfully breezy day with the the waves pounding the coastline. Not terribly dramatic, but not bad weather for Kitschland.

Hope your Monday is good. Long week ahead so keep your head down and keep tuning into Existing In BFE.

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.

Re-opening Was A Hoax

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
