Tuesday Tidbits


The Cabin in the Woods is providing shelter and solace to the wild Spring weather I have experienced.  80 degrees one day, then down to 55 the next.  Sunny blue skies then tornado sirens blaring to warn of impending danger.  With all due respect to those who have lost their lives in recent storms I have found it exhilarating in comparison to the stultifyingly monotonous Kitschland weather.

The Emerald City DMV has solved the age-old problem of Christmas tree storage and the hassle of putting it up and down every year.  Just keep it up and decorate with the colors of the upcoming holiday.  Problem solved.  So smart.  So clever.  So lazy.

FaceTime on our iPads is so cool for traveling Papa's.  I'm not sure how to capture a text message but the great surprise so far was I received my first from Norah.  She's getting so big.

Coolest bar in North Henderson.  This picture captures it all:  pool table, motorcycles, beer, truck and Tim.  Don't see the beer?  Don't worry, it's there somewhere.

Stopped at LaGondola's in G-Burg last Saturday.  Noticed this.  Gee, just like Kitschland.

Congratulations to new High School graduates Richard Ferguson and Logan (Hippie) McCutcheon.  They don't know it yet but these are good carefree years.

The Peter Principle has officially been re-named: the Donald Principle.

This is a secret, previously unreleased tape of an example of keen and all-knowing supervision at Papa's Daycare.  First rule of child rearing:  nip it in the bud!  By the way, that's Alfred's hiding spot.  Pretty much in full view of where I sit.

Kinda funny how the Conservatives tell the Progressives they can't get over the election loss, but when they start talking about it they always mention Hillary.  Hey, wha? (that's not a typo, I'm trying to be cool.)

++++++++++ 

For those interested:  my exercise routine has been destroyed.  It has been cold, rainy and too much great Midwestern treats an beer.  So, I'm marking this all down as a long break and will resume when I return to Kitschland.   Not even stepping on the scales.

Just sent - Alfred hamming it up for the camera.

I'm not certain certain, but my guess is your free range chicken egg tastes the same as your fenced in one.  Ah, marketing. 


++++++++++

Speaking of chickens;  do they have to be impregnated each time to produce an egg, or is one insemination good for a dozen? 

++++++++++ 

And speaking of animals:  is the ground squirrel the same as a chipmunk?  And if not, has anyone ever seen one?  Even at the zoo?

Driving Miss Frump to Alpha to the Thrifty On 150 car show.

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
