More Pool Fun


As promised, either to your delight or chagrin, here are more pictures of pool fun this summer at the Waterboard Apartments in Largo, home to your humble blogger.  My daily guests and business clients, Norah and Alfred, loved the hour or so we spent at the Palm Tree pool.  Norah has this thing where she has to name everything of importance to her, from the pool on down )or up) to the her favorite stuffed animals.  Linda and Felicity are the newest additions.  The Palm Tree pool is named because if you get there early enough, say 10:00 to 10:30 it will still be shadowed by a couple nice palm trees to the east.

Norah is quite the lover of water and has grown so much in pool play.  We have races from one end to the other (I cheat by grabbing her ankles, she cheats by pinching me) and she almost always wins.     



































These were made by the sweetest little find I snagged while walking on the early morning hours a few months ago.  Don't know the story of this camera, but there it was lying on the sidewalk.  A couple scratches probably from falling off the car.  Who knows.  Its in good hands now, however.  Between pennies and cameras lying around on the sidewalks,  I might get rich financially.  I already am in the rest of the areas.

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...

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.  No...

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.
