Dimwits At Work
Read more: Dimwits At WorkWe have our share of morons in the construction industry. I have reputation for being intolerant of stupidity & I’m never ever bashful or reserved when I have to get in someone’s face to keep idiocy to a minimum. (I can be loud & scary.) These guys in the picture above are rushing around trying…

Fountain of Youth

Read more: BotanographyHands, Back, Legs, all killin me’ (us). I think we need to move to a condo. We downsized the planting beds last year when we had about 4000+ square feet of sod put down – but there’s still too much.

Bullseye On My Back???
Read more: Bullseye On My Back???Ever notice how so many TV commercials make men out to be helpless half-wits? I’m starting to think WIMMIN are believin’ that stuff. Deb hates to do the grocery shopping. She’s a browser. I’m not. I have it down to a science. Takes me less than an hour to get a $200 order – &…

Lotsa Cops & Redneck Dawgs

It’s a jungle, thick with palmettos, vines, sticker bushes, twisted live oaks, & loaded with wildlife – deer, wild pigs (with sharp tusks), armadillos, gators, & snakes. Lots of snakes.

The diner, where the climactic scene was shot, is still there with the sign out front that proclaims “Home Of The Blob”. Doesn’t make the food sound particularly appetizing to someone…
