The city recently constructed a bike path on the Missouri River bridge to connect the city to the MKT Trail, which is a bike and walking path that goes clear across the state. This was the first time I'd been on it. It's pretty popular already. It's kind of scary at first with the traffic, and there was a family trying to get their dog across it and the dog was terrified, but mostly, people seem to be really happy to have this project completed. Maybe people will be more active now!?

April 22, 2011 - Twister!
A tornado hit St. Louis and damaged some of the northern neighborhoods and the international airport. My dad grew up in the northern part of St. Louis and we watched the coverage on the weather channel pretty closely. No fatalities despite some pretty gnarly damage! Here's to survival!
April 21, 2011 - Will not turn on the furnace. Will not turn on the furnace.
It's getting chilly in the house. I refuse to turn on the furnace again, though. Spring! Come soon!

April 19, 2011 - Oliver Cromwell's speech.
I realize there have been a lot of text pictures lately, but I've been reading for fun again. This is from a famous speeches book. This is Oliver Cromwell's speech when he dismantles the English Parliament. Frankly, reading it, I think you could accuse American Legislators of the same things Cromwell is shouting at the Englishmen back in the day.
April 18, 2011 - Best car in the garage.
Saw this car in one of the parking garages at MU. I love it!
April 17, 2011 - Watson in nature. Sort of.
Or rather, lounging on the concrete while looking at nature.
April 16, 2011 - The opera curtain.
Went and saw "The Merry Widow" at Missouri Theater. It was a student production of the music department at MU. The singers were great, I think the opera choice was pretty poor, though. I didn't really find the opera that interesting. Good voices though.
