Tuesday Tidbits

Ford Rangers are the Volkswagen Bugs of this generation.  They were cheap, they were made well, they sold millions and many are still around.  They were built from 1998 to 2011.

Just going to tell you what happened.  Lying in bed with Whizzbang last Sunday.  She was asleep next to me and I was watching something on TV.  Yeah, it was some found footage horror movie.  The bed started shaking.  Not for long, maybe a couple seconds.  Whizz wakes up, sits up and looks alert.  I'm looking around.  It does it again, maybe a bit longer.  Whizz jumps off, and I slide off, thinking the Current Mrs. Blythe had sneaked in and slid underneath to shake it just to scare me.  Which was ridiculous.  I yell as I slide off, "OK, THAT IS ENOUGH!"  I looked under the bed.  Nothing.  The current Mrs. Blythe was in the kitchen but heard me yell.

 Okay, yeah I've been on a found footage movie phase lately.  Did I doze off and imagine it?  Did the dog shiver?  Twice?  Or is my bedroom sitting atop an old Seminole Indian burial ground?  Mysteries abound in this land of sand crabs and flesh eating microbes.  What?  You wanted something more profound?

Apparently this is a thing over in the Middle East.  Looks like fun.

These two reprobates prefer flavored frozen water treats to ice cream.  What's the younger generation coming to?

The New York Mets are a pathetic organization.  They hired an agent to be their General Manager.  They hired a pitching coach with no managerial experience to be our manager.  At this writing they are in 4th place (out of 5 teams) and are close to their third straight season not being over .500 after May 1.  The new GM said two weeks ago he liked what he saw, and in April told the rest of the league to "come get us."  They have more blown saves than saves.  They are also in the most lucrative market and spend like they are in a thrift shop.  They fired their pitching coach last week and they have gotten worse.  Our new pitching coach is 82 years old.  In the off season we traded our best player in the minors for a 36 year old who was busted for using PED's last year.  

I'm thinking about finding a new team.  I will be available for bribery at Beer Bellies in August.

Making Magic doesn't have to be hard.

Words fail me.

A palm tree the Dumbstruck and I walk past every morning.  Looks like a giant bug.

"O pleeze pleeze pleeze drop a fry.  Don't worry I'll get it"

I got nothing else today.  Doesn't hardly seem worth the ink.  Short Tidbit for a short 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
