Tuesday Tidbits

OK, in the bathroom I blow my nose.  Small room.  I toss the Kleenex toward the waste can.  Its right up against the shower curtain.  How can I miss?  Damned if I don't miss more often than not.  Try it at home?  Try it with the big waste can in the kitchen.  Same thing.  Miss.  Miss again.  I have a theory.  There is an invisible world of benign pixies that run around and try to confound us.  They aren't malicious, unless bending down and picking up that used Kleenex that missed the can qualifies.  All they do is remind us that we are imperfect little nothings in the big scheme of things.

El Camino: A Breaking Bad movie lived up to its heritage.  Breaking Bad the best ever?  I don't know, it has some competition, but maybe.



Saw Sully again with America's greatest living actor, Tom Hanks, and was briefly reminded of how we used to have great stories coming out of this country once.

I wonder if funeral directors prefer burial or cremation for themselves.

I wonder why it is always "badgering" the witness.  Why not shark, or bear?

Got flu and pneumonia shots this weekend and it knocked me on my ass.  Wonder why.  Never happened before.

Mulvaney, Pompeo, More Rudy, More Trump, More Impeachment, Doral.

As our Kurdish allies throw rotten vegetables at our armored vehicles leaving them to surely die in ethnic cleansing, I wondered where our national honor is?  Where is it?

    

Kurdish girl whose future is gloomy.

I'm not sure if I posted this yet, but I surely do miss those Midwestern light shows.  This was in BFE about a month ago.  Sure hope I get a little weather when I'm back up in TWO WEEKS.

Recent commercials on TV display black guys in weird suits and over-the-top delivery.  



  

 I wonder why Madison Avenue keeps up this kind of old tired, and offensive, minstrel display of black men.

Thanks, Mike S., for the annual box of Wisconsin, home-grown and hand-dug potatoes.  This is what is left of the potato soup that we had with them.

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
