Wine Dive... W. Palm Beach

Met up with Compass Cay friends, Bart and Nat, and Sandy, last night for food and drinks at Wine Dive on Clematis — which is right in the middle of downtown W. Palm.

Nice area, we like it a lot. Reminded us of downtown Memphis.

Huh??

Sheepshead Fish has human teeth, but it's okay because it won't give a psychedelic crisis??

Some very weird stuff out there... click here.

Cut from this very peculiar article about Sheepshead fish — which by the way are quite tasty.

Despite the way it looks, the sheepshead fish (Archosargus probatocephalus) has at least one thing going for it. While other members of the Sparidae family are trying out various forms of hermaphroditism, including changing from female to male (protogyny), doing the opposite (protandry), or being unisexual (gonochorists), the sheepshead is just sitting at home watching cartoons and leaving its genitals where they are. So that’s something.

Hmmm... Salema Porgy, sounds interesting.
Hope everybody's having a great weekend.

Cheers,

Istaboa

Is -paranormal- normal in an old Memphis bar?

(To set this up, one must think—Twilight Zone theme song— and imagine Rod Serling narrating)

The above pic is a second in time captured inside an old brothel turned drinking hole, using an night vision photoshop action. The main bar saloon at Earnestine and Hazel's on South Main Street in Memphis, TN. has always been reputed to be a haven for souls of the long past. These photos actually show what appears to be a pair of anomalies engaging in a game of billiards...
Or not.

The same pic taken on the same day just minutes before the ghostly game of pool.
No shit!

“There is nothing in the dark that isn't there when the lights are on.”
― Rod Serling

Really, I took these months ago and yesterday started playing around with different actions just because they were such boring shots. Never saw the ghostly looking characters before adding the night vision effect.
du-du-du-du-... du-du-du-du,,,,

Adios,

Things to do in Alabama... Throw fish.

Cut from The official website of the Florabama's Interstate Mullet Toss

What is a Mullet Toss?

It's like a big flash mob on the beach where a fish throwing event breaks out.

A Mullet Toss consists of individuals on the beach throwing a mullet, from a 10-foot circle in Alabama across the state line into Florida. Not to mention a great excuse to throw a weekend long party, with lots of fun activities, great music and food!

This year's event will feature local celebrities tossing out a few fish at noon, each day (Friday, Saturday & Sunday).
