Kenzie snapped this pic of a gator in a retention pond along where Whizzy and I walk every morning.  He was outside the pond then slipped back in when she got out to take the picture.  That's him looking at her.  He isn't a big one, about 4 feet long, but it means a couple things maybe.  One, mom and or dad might be around, and two, better be careful walking that sidewalk in the mornings.

I have mentioned that You Tube has been acting up lately.  These oversized vids are just one example.  Stay tuned, maybe I can fix it, maybe not.  

Anyway, on our walk last week,  we were first spooked by the streetlight that was blinking.  In supernatural horror movies this mean there is some kind of evil force nearby.  

And if that wasn't enough, another mile down the road, across from the spooky and dark Datsko Park we met someone walking toward us on the sidewalk.  Now who the hell is out and about at that time of night, except us, of course?

 I was in too much shock to think clearly so I didn't get him walking away soon enough.  The second video you can't see, but maybe a nano second of him walking down the street.  By the way I said "good Morning, and he replied in like fashion, so it's not like blood was dripping from his mouth and eyeballs rolling around in black sovkets.  But still.

Many of my readers ask constantly how Whizzbang, aka Dumbstruck the Wonder Pup is.  She is fine and here is a small update.  









These are her two favorite activities - begging for food and sleeping.  Last picture is her about to go full spasmo.

Some kind of weird, stealth-like flying creature that decided to grace us with its presence.

And if Florida isn't bad enough, now we've got this flesh-eating thing going on.  Sharks, heat, rip tides, gators and now microbes.

There are 20 people or so running for president.  There is one person running who will never get elected.  Never in a hundred years.  Bernie Sanders: too old, too robotic, too socialist and spouting same old crap.

Nice to see Dave and Lisa again down here.  They come down once a year to celebrate their wedding anniversary.  They were our buddies across the street when we lived in G-Burg.

Nothing else today.

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
