Tuesday Tidbits

There is an argument from some Republicans, specifically Fox News (Brit Hume) and right wing wackos (Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Glen Beck) that we older Americans should lay down our lives so that the economy can get back to making money for them.  I have three responses.  One, we all have value.  Two, you first. And three, fuck you.

I've caught up with Better Call Saul and watched the 7-part nefdlix documentary Tiger King.  TK is the damndest thing I think I've ever seen.

Hey Trumpers in blue states:  he's basically telling you to drop dead.  If you are a blue state or criticize the government's readiness, you won't get enough medical supplies.  Red states and particularly red governors who suck up, will get all they need.  The good news: I'm in a red state.

Who would have thought a trip to the grocery store would be the most exciting thing you could come up with to do in a month.

I think they should get the MLB baseball players all tested, well, and isolate them as best they can and send them out to minor league cities and start playing.  No people in the stands just the players playing in all these weird, quaint minor league parks. That would be a real service to Americans at this time.

There is hardly any event in humankind that someone doesn't get this painting and  re-make it to fit the event.  I've seen various incarnations of it so far.

I have been a critic of Trump since he lied about his inauguration audience numbers.  Wouldn't it be something if his incompetency, lies and inaction over this virus ended up killing me?

 “It has always puzzled me that so many religious people have taken it for granted that God favors those who believe in him. Isn’t it possible that the actual God is a scientific God who has little patience with beliefs founded on faith rather than evidence?” — Raymond Smullyan

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...

The Mary Davis Home - Part 2

None of these pictures were taken by me,  they came right from the MDH website.  I am posting these so that friends who have never seen inside where I worked can gain access.  After 27 years I have many stories, tales and acquaintances.  But, I wouldn't know how to express them appropriately in a few paragraphs.  I enjoyed 98% of my stay there and hope I made a difference in the lives of a fraction of the kids who entered.  The original MDH at this site was just the front part.  The large red-roofed area in back was added on in the 90's. This is the Jerry Carlton library.  It was unofficially named after one of the counselors who truly loved the place.   He passed away around 2002, I think.  Mr. Farber looks like he is explaining a few things to a client. The classroom. Activity area with the gym behind the windows. Another shot of the classroom. It was a little different area to teach since we had 2 classes and 2 teachers i...
