Bok Towers and Spook Hill


So once again I talked Denise into another one day get away. Was gonna go to Bok Tower and then head home, but will reading about Bok I noticed a link to Spook Hill near Bok Tower. Being the Graveyard rabbit that I am, we left earlier and made it to Lake Wales and found Spook Hill.

After reading the sign and following directions we indeed travelled in reverse uphill while our van was in neutral. Being the natural pressimist that i am I tried doing this farther from the indicated line, and we still travelled uphill but at a slower pace than the first. We really had fun here and tried different ways but we did travel like they said we would. Worth the early start to our trip.

 
More on Bok Tower soon

And Justice was served?

A nurse died Monday after 42 years in a coma following a brutal rape, in a case that led India to ease some restrictions on euthanasia.

Aruna Shanbaug suffered brain damage and had been in a vegetative state in a Mumbai hospital since being strangled with a dog chain and sexually assaulted by a hospital worker in 1973.

The 66-year-old Shanbaug had suffered a bout of pneumonia in recent days and was on a ventilator, officials at King Edward Hospital in Mumbai told the Press Trust of India news agency.

Shanbaug was attacked by a ward boy in the basement of the hospital where she was discovered 11 hours later, blind and suffering from a severe brain stem injury.

Left bedridden, she spent more than four decades being cared for by a team of doctors and nurses at the hospital.

Her attacker was freed after a seven-year jail sentence.

Political uncorrectness

Political correctness now we have a radio guy in San Francisco getting suspended and must go to sensitivity training for saying out loud on the air why would Ray Rices woman come back to him after being knocked out cold by him.

Not like half of America wasn't wondering this already.

United Socialist States of America is here. Beware of what's coming down the tube.

Historically Inaccurate Films

The recent movie “The Butler” continues to do well at the box office despite criticism from some scholars over the film’s historical inaccuracies.The movie is based on the life of Eugene Allen, an African-American butler who worked at the white house for decades. In the movie, though, there is far more drama in the butler’s personal life – including an alcoholic wife and a frequently arrested son – than the real Allen experienced.Moreover, the depiction that the butler quit in protest over Ronald Reagan’s stance on apartheid is inaccurate since Allen is known to have retired on great terms with Reagan.
