Then drive drive drive home. We did get the the St. Louis Arch which I have seen before but it is an amazing thing to see. The tallest man made arch in the world at more then 63o feet high.
So I'll put some photos I took among the words here.
The reason for the trip was a wedding and I bet many of you have seen the groom if you watch TV. Look for the JC Penny commercials with the choir. Doug is the tall dude on the center.
The wedding was one of the most entertaining I have ever been to with vows that were tender, humorous and touching.
The road trip was fine as DJ and I made up drinking games along the way. Take a shot every time you see a Waffle House when going through Missouri and then when you see Adult Entertainment Centers (always closed so I guess there is no sex in Missouri).
Milo the cat was boarded at the vet and as we let him off he turned his back to me after he gave me a "I hate you, you are dead to me" look.
When we picked him up a week later I was happy they we decided to buy him again (he thinks he is up for adoption every time he board him). Oddly when he comes home he is the most wonderful cat ever . . . but that never lasts!
Everyone thinks I'm an alcoholic now because I brought back $200 in Texas beer that you can not get in Wisconsin but most of it was for home brew buddies that wanted a beer brewed by Jester King.
OH - Shiner Bock is the Spotted Cow of Texas it seems. The house we stayed in had a large screen TV . . . . it was about a 5x8 FOOT screen. Pretty sweet.
Not sure if you can see the windows but at the apex on top are windows you can look out of. DJ and I did not go up this time.I did take some photos of what the tiny car looks like to get up there. It's amazingly small and scary.
We drove the Subaru which now has about 204,000 miles on it and runs like a kitten (what ever that means).
In other news my football system will end up about .500, something like 23-23 with one week to go.
I'm in the playoffs in my fantasy football league. 1st Place in my confidence football pool, up 24 units in basketball and up 60 units in NHL. Sports are good.
Then there is Aaron Rodgers. There was a post on facebook wondering what people thought of Aaron coming back and playing and of the 63 posts I skimmed - 95% were saying sit him the rest of the year. WOW!
OH - if you think it's going to be cold Friday and Saturday, just wait. that ain't nothing compared to next week. I bet Tuesday we will not get above 0. At least when we are awake. Midnight Monday will be the high.
A friend of mine posted this and since there is SO MUCH anti Affordable Care Act garbage on the net I have to post this.
Thank-you Mr Obama. After over a decade of no health insurance, both Barb and I will have good affordable health insurance through the health market exchange the first of next year.
OBAMACARE IS GOOD!
Can someone tell me why the house Republicans spent ALL their time in congress trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act????
Next step is to get ALL Americans access to Good, Affordable health care with a single payer system.
-----------------------------
I think we should have an arch like this as we enter Columbus. The Arch was controversial when it was built in St. Louis. The citizens wanted the money to go towards roads!
I'll save the rest for other times.
Cheers! Glad to be home - OH - it was 65 in Dallas when we left. felt like spring. They have the weirdest grass down there. I think it's called Buffalo Grass. It's like live grass but totally brown.
An interesting thing about McKinny is that there are Donut places everywhere but many just have a big sign DONUT!! I suppose it's like Wisconsin with stores that just say CHEESE!
see ya!
