Tuesday Tidbits

I don't know if it is a weak faith or weak mind, but I get spooked easily.  The dog and I walk past Datsko Park most every morning and it is a small, light-less place that cast shadows and the occasional reflection of something.    It is my Kitschland equivalent to Emerald City's South Lagoon. I try to keep looking forward instead of fixating on the place.  But every so often there are things that happen that still make your hair stand on end.  







And if that wasn't enough for this morning jaunt, we encountered a stray dog that didn't like us walking on the sidewalk outside a deserted health complex.

Two words that don't go together:

New tradition.

Because my body seems to have two of most everything, my new ENT guy, Dr. Saeks (I call him Mercy) has given me two tubes, in both ears.  Cool.  Twice as many trips ( and co-pays) to get them replaced.  And if that's not enough, I remain nasal polyp free.

Warning:  Political Stuff Ahead

Yes, I know I promised no politics.  But I am warning you here.  Let's call it: 


"Stuff You Won't Know If You Watch Fox"

Funny #1 

When a White House reporter asked Trump about Western liberalism after the Great Wars, last week, poor Trump didn't have a clue what it meant and launched into a diatribe about Democrats on the West Coast, specifically Los Angeles and San Francisco. 



He didn't have a clue what the question was.


Funny #2

NBC News reporter Kristin Welker asked Trump what he thought of court-ordered busing to integrate schools in the '60's, '70's, and '80's.  

Trumps response was, "...there's so many ways you can get to school."

Trump thinks busing is literally the way kids get to school.  He refers to himself as a stable genius.  He might just get another 4 years. God Bless America.



OK, It's safe to come out again.  No more politics.

I think I have it in me to be an ice cream in-store-container-licker copycat.

We seem to spend a lot of time telling other nations they can't have nuclear weapons.  Is it patented?  What gives us the right to tell North Korea or Iran that they can't have one but every permanent member of the United Nations has them?  Just asking.

Stowaway.  Made it from my place to Kenzie's. There were three other vids, but YouTube is screwed up all of a sudden.

Making slime yesterday.

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 f...

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.  No...

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.
