Aquaman and Holes in the World

My Wombie, the egg split in the womb, worked as Aquaman in Emerald City, and then he retired, complete with big party, pats on the back and three side jobs. Part-time at The Grind, doing the water for Seaton and farming for a group under the Bluff. Then, through a series of Unfortunate Events, retired Wombie became Aquaman again. I am assuming another big party when he does retire again, but until then, its Aquaman and Big Drip. See how I insert myself into the picture like a freshman nerd sidling up to the senior Queen at the Prom.

He has absolutely no time what with his added duties combined with doing the JULIES, too. If you don't know what a JULIE is, when you take your shovel and dig in the back yard for that pesky mole and nick a gas line, you'll get a quick education.

This is some sort of concoction out at Aquaman's South Lagoon treatment plant at Emerald City. Last time I was pretending to be Robin to Wombie's Batman, I took this video of whatever that is. Portal to Hell? Mini Niagara Falls in-the-round? I don't know, and being Big Drip, I didn't ask. But its cool and I want one.

In the few free moments when Aquaman is home with all systems in green, rather than those pesky red ones, he relaxes at home with his lovely wife, Aquawoman.

Last time up I took a picture of him at home. He put on his smoking jacket, created a faux British accent, fondled one of his ceramic owls, petted Maddie, asked Mrs. Aquawoman what was for supper, and posed at the mantle watching his orange breasted grossbeaks and cowbirds eating away at the feeders. All the while, monitoring the systems that make Emerald City flush.

Emerald City is lucky to have him, and more or less, Big Drip, too.

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
