Tuesday Tidbits



I'm looking to take a long weekend off.  Babysitting is fine and all, and fills my karma jar.  Perhaps a stay in the Florida mountains where Bloody Mary's will be served by waitstaff on skates.  After breakfast a couple hours in the spa where maybe a fine lager will help in my recuperation from endless up-and-downs dictated by a 2 1/2 year old.

The Cabin awaits.  In about 2 weeks I'll be back in Northlandia and taking care of Miss Maddie whilst the parents go off on a cruise.  I hope to run into the usual suspects, do the usual things, and simply soak up the Midwest.  Of course, a good old blizzard would be greatly appreciated.  Fingers crossed, hope, hope.

Did You Know?
April 11, 1954 is considered to be the most boring day in the 20th century as no newsworthy births, deaths, or other significant events on the global stage took place upon that day.

This is the reason most purchasers of veggies at the store recommend washing before preparing.

Arts and crafts time at Papa's Daycare.

Two weeks of some 40, 50 and 60 degree temps and looks like winter is over here in Kitschland.

Winners in my playoff football contest:  Tim, Kenzie, Annie, Mike, Drew, Pat, and Dan.

Huh.

What I don't get is if Trump is innocent then why all the fighting and hiring of lawyers.

I decided to go to a clubhouse function last weekend.  According to the organizers the flu decimated the crowd.  Kids are carriers so I'm a flu-bug walking, so I hope I get it either before or after Northlandia.

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
