Tuesday Tidbits


The usual stuff I spot on the world wide web.  Pictures of pets, pictures of kids and political stuff you might won't like.  I'd turn back if I were you.

"I'd much rather live next door to a foreigner who crossed a desert to get here than an American who wouldn't walk across the street to help a foreigner."

Trump is vowing to destroy Harley-Davidson because of its actions over his tariffs.  What a dick.

When was the last time you got your hackles raised?  You know, not the mad kind (like reading this blog), but the scared type.   I was doing my early morning walk thing and I heard a jogger approaching.  Wondering why anyone would be out this time of night (me excluded) I started looking around but I saw no one.  The sound of shoes kept getting louder and louder.  Closer and closer!  My hackles started to rise because, again, there was no one!  My god!  An invisible jogger!

Turns out I was approaching one of those inground watering systems that had not risen all the way out of its housing.  Hackles lowered.

I hate it when Judge Judy is excerpted by World Cup soccer.




Take that, stupid popular worldwide sport.

I never watched Anthony Bourdain on TV, in fact didn't know who he was.  I'm thinking maybe I should have.

Another week with Whizzbang, aka, Dumbstruck the Wonder Pup



It was a sad week here at Sinkhole Estates.  I had to inform Whizzbang, aka Dumbstruck the Wonder Pup that she most likely will never win the Westminster.  Sadly, her lop-sided ears will disqualify her from competition.  She was devastated.  Treats seemed to assuage her disappointment.

Are you next, Tommy?

 The girls last week at Dunkin Donuts which is kind of our Friday fun thing.

Danny, is that you?

That's probably good enough for the 1st week back after the holiday.

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.
