They should know that signs that say things like "DANGER STAY OFF BLUFFS" only make me get closer to them...


Perhaps this sign should be put on all the banks Moody's downgraded their credit ratings?




This is how I imagine Israel looking; not Upstate New York






That is not a naked man or a hermit...
















Crazy web of sticks, rocks, and sand cement

Some kind of algae skimmers or something in Sodus Bay

One big happy family

And, now for a business update...

The foundation is being laid for the new clinic and training wing!!!


Just look at the excitement on Atticus' face...

That's it for now.  THANKS again for your kind messages about our anniversary.

HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY

HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY MEGAN!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Meet Me In St. Louis

Had a conference in St. Louis, Missouri.  And, of course, you have to visit the Gateway Arch


This is Jimmy McMillan and we shared a flight together.  He ran for governor of New York on behalf of the Rent Is 2 Damn High Party.  If you don't know about him, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_Is_Too_Damn_High_Party  We had a nice little discussion about his ballot case making its way through the court system.  


Lambert Airport


You know me.  When I visit a city I have to try out their mass transit system.  I have to say, I was very impressed with the MetroLink.  For example, this red line toward Shiloh-Scott.


Very clean, affordable, and efficient


A nice streetcar system.  


The lobby of the Marriott at Union Station where I stayed.  They converted the old train station into a hotel shopping center


Here's the mall


The old superstructure of the roof still covers the entire area

Bears are way better than lions...

City Hall





Ulysses S. Grant


The Old Courthouse




Directly under the arch.  How do you know you are there?  Look for the perfect circle of dirt in a beautifully manicured lawn.


Good times on a steamboat in the Mississippi


More arch


Old Courthouse


Dred Scott statue


St. Louis has a great and active park running through the hear of the city




Some kind of decapitated head...


I can't be sure, but I believe this pink suit is to glorify Miami Vice...


MORE FOUNTAINS!


Bunny


Rabbit


Richard Serra sculpture.  Clearly no one wants to go near this thing...


Civic Court


Police statue at Civic Court


Some kind of war memorial




Municipal Court


The Post Office


The outside of the hotel I stayed at




Stop spraying yourself!


BASEBALL!  St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago White Sox!

Mark McGuire...






I don't know why this is so funny to me.

Guess what this little fella is?


A remote control bulldozer!  Why did no one tell me this was a career option?
