Flashback Friday



Me and Bro Phil sometime in college.  The setting is unknown to me although it could have been the Country Club in Aledo.  Frankly it doesn't look like it to me so who knows.  Maybe Bro Phil knows.  

 On my right hand you see the high school class ring that I lost in a meatloaf at the Mary Davis Home.  It also looks like I am drinking a full strength Budweiser.  I'm smiling like I've had a few full strength Budweisers.  

 Bro Phil is wearing a Phi Delt fraternity sweatshirt and I was really into plaid.  Looks like maybe 2nd or third year in college.  The Wombie was probably in Missouri at school, which would explain his absence.  Other than that I have no info on this.  
I'm taking next week off.  I have nothing in the queue and nothing to share.  No need to be painful about it, so I'll just take the week off.

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
