Nice to see Shep Smith leave Fox.  Always thought he was a fair shooter.  Now he can come over to the good guys and be a real journalist.

 I wasn't aware that locust/cicadas had lion head markings as a defense.

Here is the Scoop on Area 51

Had to get a new AC for the place last week.  One of the electricians who worked on it told me this story.  I will leave it to you to decide.  His father was one of the original scientists to formulate the blueprints for atomic submarines. He worked on the first two subs.  As a specialized group of people who had secrets that couldn't fall into enemy hands, he and their families travelled together all over the country to work on their projects.  The electrician told me they moved 28 times.  One of the stops was at Area 51.  He said the reason the place became so renown for possible UFO activity was because they tested experimental planes there as well as building a nuclear submarine as well.  The scientists didn't know what was going to happen when they installed a reactor in one so they wanted to make sure that if anything went wrong it would be in the middle of no where.  They wheeled the sub partially out one day and someone took a picture of it and thought it looked like a UFO.  According to this guy a false legend was created.

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
