Flashback Friday


For the life of me I can't figure out where this picture was taken.  The real London Bridge was about 3,500 miles away.  Bro Phil is keeping a nice lookout for his freak siblings.  This looks to be some kind of amusement park but I can't think of any close to Seaton.  Maybe someone can shed some light on it.
  

 What is particularly eerie is that kid right behind me in the shadows.  Since it is the Halloween season, one could make a great case about that being a ghost.  Sadly, a better case can be made that while Marj was taking too much time framing the picture, some nervy-ass kid couldn't wait to cross the old bridge.  I take pleasure in thinking that maybe that bridge was over a moat, and maybe that moat had a gator.  Anyway, believe whatever you like.  I just think its a little creepy.

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.

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
