Tuesday Tidbits

I wish the US had gone metric like most of the world - I run into metric all the time and I don't have a clue.

Last week I told you how fun it is to take Whizzbang to the dog park and while she goes somewhere to sniff new ass, she comes back looking for.  But I have kept moving so I'm not where she thinks I am.  This is a short vid of her doing exactly that.  She is far away so you'll have to look hard clear in the back to see her.  

 By the way, Sunday was her 2nd birthday.  I told her the Super Bowl fireworks were for her.  She bought it.

You know who.

Miss Norah got a hoverboard from Santa for Christmas.  She zips around effortlessly.  They have them for adults.  I'm up for that.

The faces change, the performers are different, but the Super Bowl halftime show remains the same.  From the clothes to the groupies swaying around the stage to the music and the final fireworks, it remains the same year after year.  Bombastic,  edgy, almost not real music at all.  Snarling glances, light show and flying - the performers change but the show itself does not.  A display of gaudy excess that looks more like a drag show in Miami in 2004 than anything resembling our culture today.

And dammit, I lost $20.

Here's hoping Rosita's procedure yesterday went well.

++++++++++

I went to Dr's for routine ENT checkup and the newest magazine laying on the table was dated September 2018.  You'd think for a $65 dollar co-pay they would at least get you something to read within the past year.

Woo-hoo.  With the impending vote on impeachment and the destruction of the checks-and-balance of the Constitution with the Congress's capitulation, Trump becomes the most powerful president in history.  Buckle up, its going to be an interesting next 4 1/2 years left in his administration.  


++++++++++


Till next 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
