It was another interesting security check for me coming back to Kitschland this last time.  The spice Cookies, a family favorite, was running low so I bought three along with an Aledo-made Ryan's Rub.  

The body scanner flagged me over metal in my crotch and a mass on my right shoulder.

In front of other passengers an Agent gave me a thorough nether region going-over.  Folks, this is the second time.  It has to be the metal cap from my second vasectomy.  I'm just nopt amused any longer.

The mass in my shoulder is from a cyst I had removed a year or more ago.  

But then those Cookies jars.  If that wasn't enough they take me and my backpack over to the side and start going through it looking for them.  I tell them which pocket they are in and then we have an inspection, wipe-down with some material and finally, after what seemed like an hour, they are finished with me.  

On the positive side, I enjoyed my grope and am coming up with genitalia-based comments when it happens again.

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
