Tuesday Tidbits



"The veil of civilization is thin, but not everything behind it is savage.  We are going to be OK."

 A nurse who said some guy threw hundreds of masks into her car.

Our receptionist here at Existing In BFE looking at the recent balance sheet.  I told her we'd be going another week.

How did we get to be a 3rd world country?  And no one seems to care.

Yeah, I know.  I've posted this before.  But damn, its so true.

As of yesterday morning, there are 359 Covid cases in my county of Pinellas down here.  There are 2 in Mercer County up north.

Coke is shut down for two weeks so the current Mrs. Blythe, her cat Gus, my dog Whizzbang Zoom and I are isolating for awhile.  Whizz and I didn't take our walk yesterday or today for fear of running into Bruce, our security guard buddy who looks out for us and likes to chat.

We have no masks but I ordered a balaclava.  Patriotically red, white and blue.

We might go on hiatus for a bit.  Don't think that will break too many hearts.

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
