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 reviews are in on the new format.

 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...

The Mary Davis Home - Part 2

None of these pictures were taken by me,  they came right from the MDH website.  I am posting these so that friends who have never seen inside where I worked can gain access.  After 27 years I have many stories, tales and acquaintances.  But, I wouldn't know how to express them appropriately in a few paragraphs.  I enjoyed 98% of my stay there and hope I made a difference in the lives of a fraction of the kids who entered.  The original MDH at this site was just the front part.  The large red-roofed area in back was added on in the 90's. This is the Jerry Carlton library.  It was unofficially named after one of the counselors who truly loved the place.   He passed away around 2002, I think.  Mr. Farber looks like he is explaining a few things to a client. The classroom. Activity area with the gym behind the windows. Another shot of the classroom. It was a little different area to teach since we had 2 classes and 2 teachers i...

Tuesday Tidbits On Wednesday

This week I will be heading up to the Cabin in the Woods.  I think I have come up with a long list of things to do and take care of.  As is usually the case, however, it won't take long till I miss the girls. It's kind of a Stockholm Syndrome in reverse, or circle.  My primary concern is Alfred and her substitute situation for the next few weeks before I head back for a Dr.'s appointment and do a little sitting to help Kenzie out.   But I suppose we'll all adjust and do nicely.  On my part I am looking forward to no diapers and some rec time.   ++++++++++ This is me when I am heading up to the Cabin In The Woods. ++++++++++ Oh yeah. ++++++++++ Poor Alfred.  It'll get easier, I swear. ++++++++++   One of my dreams is to find something like this or an old car tucked away in a barn somewhere.  That is the closest corollary we have nowadays for finding a buried treasure....
