Now a recliner
A recliner fell onto the center lane of 255 on the Illinois side this morning. I can't imagine how this could happen and how awful it must have been to be driving along and suddenly come across it. And, who's... Continue reading

Unappetizing drink

Celery juice has become the latest health drink and frankly, this does not seem appealing at all. There are over 35,000 posts on Instagram about celery juice with supposed benefits running the gamut from curing mental health issues to infertility... Continue reading

A different way to make tacos
While we were down in Gulf Shores, Alabama, we ate dinner out each night. The food was excellent everywhere we went, menus were heavy on seafood as you might expect. No place was fancy, but every place was filled with... Continue reading

While we were in Gulf Shores last week we came across quite a few signs, some of which I posted earlier. Here are a few more and clicking to enlarge shows them better. The shark sign made me chuckle. But... Continue reading

Cable substitute a big nothing
This product report came from KSDK's Matt Granite for a local news segment. He tested a HK1 box which purports to be the solution to those who want to get rid of cable and the large bills which come with... Continue reading

Gulf views

Today has been sunny and quite warm. Lots more people out walking or sitting on the sand. One of the shoreline things we come across all the time when we're out walking is gelatinous masses which look awful. Squiggly gelatin... Continue reading

A trip to Gulf Shores Alabama

We're on day 3 of our time in Gulf Shores. The sun has almost never made an appearance, but it really hasn't mattered. The dark skies, white caps, mild temperatures are all just as good. Yesterday this view from our... Continue reading

The final election day
Americans seem to have been voting in this year's election for months. Ok, maybe not months, but at least for weeks we've read or heard about early voting in various parts of the country. So today, the official Election Day... Continue reading

Branding the Two Americas

It's a good thing the election is getting close because news outlets have reached the point of absurdity in attempting to define liberal and conservative Americans. Take this Simmons Research survey posted by Politico, "Do you eat Republican Cheese" with... Continue reading

And just like that, it's November

Woke up to rain and dark and chilly this morning, November 1. Perfect. There's something about the beginning of this month that makes news people feel obligated to report on things we just aren't ready for. Here's KMOV's Laura Hettiger:... Continue reading

This is an interesting Twitter thread in which readers were asked to put up a photo of unusual church architecture and explain what would make you go there. The pictures are interesting. But most of the responses weren't funny as... Continue reading

So many Halloween treats
After seeing stories of myriad Trunk or Treat events the past two weeks, I wonder just how much candy kids can deal with and how interested are they in actual trick or treating tonight. Seriously, it seems the past two... Continue reading

A recycling update
Here is news we may have seen coming but hoped it wouldn't. We've become accustomed to recycling so many different things and have been thankful they didn't end up in landfills. O'Fallon Missouri is one of the first local cities... Continue reading

If elected...
Right at this moment in time, I would happily vote for any candidate who promised to work to eliminate the twice a year time changes. We don't need this anymore. The worst is waiting til almost 7 for daylight in... Continue reading

Now there will be three
MoDOT announced this morning that they have opened a third lane on the Poplar as well as the northbound Route 3 ramp to westbound 64 to the Poplar. This should help even though they're still working. Looking at my KMOV... Continue reading

Like that will happen
Twitter announced they plan to remove the "like" tool which gives readers the opportunity to "like" a tweet, a move they believe will improve the quality of debate on the social network. I fail to see how this will improve... Continue reading

Two stories on the hazards on the roads popped up this morning. "FedEx truck caught on video speeding through St. Peter's neighborhood." There is a photo attached to the story which does look like that FedEX van is going pretty... Continue reading

How many raccoons are there in the world?

I posted a week or so ago about our most recent raccoon problem and said we'd be calling Critter Control again. Well we did and so far this week they've trapped at least 7 raccoons and I think it's more... Continue reading

Check the date
I'm fairly interested in sell by dates when it comes to food shopping, some might say, obsessive. It seems only natural to want to buy the freshest food available. However if you do take note of them, you may be... Continue reading
