Tuesday Tidbits


It's Tuesday Tidbits, so unless you are stout of heart, best be on your way.

As best I can tell, this is the Met's front office flow chart.  Two  stupid owners, three GM's.

I have discovered these wonderful little devils.  


No vice is without its cost, however.

 Update on Whizzbang aka Dumbstruck the Wonder Pup

I made a sound.



 We both have stitches on the same day and we both have...

Oops.

I literally get physiologically charged when I'm this close to heading up to Northlandia again.  That and pictures of my bike being cleaned up and run after a long storage.  



Thanks, Neighbor.

Went strolling on Central Avenue in St. Pete on Saturday.  Central is the center of West Florida arts, tourism, shops of all kinds and people of all types.  It is as fun a place as I've found down here.  Of course, I haven't jet skied yet but I'm making plans to.  No kidding.  Anyway, back to Central.  It is full of galleries and they interest me.  I saw a painting I really wanted but refrained from doing so - self pat-on-the-back - such restraint, such fierce fighting of impulse buying.  Anyway, you'll see almost anything on this street, including particular signage.




  



   This post with a couple power boxes on it became a kind of creative art itself.

There is no Nobel Prize for nature hosts, but if there were, David Attenborough would win every year.

I swear I will try to catch the flight back to Kitschland but you never know.

Hey Hader, Turner and Newcomb, you now know that anything you say on Twitter stays there forever.  Social media?  Mmm.  Be careful what you say.

It's the rainy season down here so these guys get flooded out of their homes.  This guy was climbing the place early yesterday.  Of course the rain here is God's way of trying to flush out the riff-raff.  Either that or He's just crying for having created Florida.

Finally, kudos to the guy who owns this truck.  I took this picture yesterday as I was going to see Norah's gymnastic class.  2 points for bringing attention to a lamentable disease.  2 points deducted for how he decided to present it.



 Until next week.

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
