i just talked to a friend of mine, who is DRIVING to St. Louis for an appellate argument, to avoid flying on 9/12. now that is a bit extreme in my book!

Second album.

Good morning, my friend!!!

I'm back to doing battle with the city again. I'm just this close from calling a lawyer-type friend of mine.

One of the reasons I can't sell this house of mine is because of the burned out unit 3 doors down. City ordinance requires repair within 90 days - it has now been well over 120 and still nothinghas been done. Nor has city held required hearing about it.

Needless to say - I'm TORQUED off.

[xsmommy]

stay on their behinds!

[hobbes1]

Can't wait for the 46 million Dollar man, to start piling up the Yardage....

[NeoCaveman]

I'm playing a really bad game at the office......

I wonder which one?

[Gabz]

EEEEEEWWWWWWWWW

You are so BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!

[hobbes1]

Ironic that I'm dealing with my meth lab guy today, LOL.

Hmmmmmm, Will that be Cash, or Carry....lol

[hobbes1]

I can;t get to it from the OFC : (

[NeoCaveman]

All set for Sunday Bro ?

Well when your QB is probable.....oh well I'm looking forward to tonights game first, just because it's the NFL.

On 9/12 last year, hubby was on the phone with the travel desk at American Express making airline reservations to go to Atlanta in October. He called around noon - gal he spoke with said he was the first call they had received all morning for booking - all other calls were cancellations.

[xsmommy]

i guess if you are a nervous flyer generally, it would put you over the edge, and she is. xshub flew last Oct also and he said the plane was nearly empty.

[xsmommy]

i think she said it was a 14 hour drive. they are taking the 3 kids and going to see the arch etc. Well, i have been to st. louis and it is not worth a 14 hour drive!

With the releae of his latest movie in the serial, Star Wars clones (er, fans) can satisfy their invidorious villian grow older and seduce young innocent girls.

Then again, so can Hillary's fanatics.

[Gabz]

I am - problem is that I can't get any of my phone calls returned. I know the reason for that - they know I'm right and they are wrong.

The selective enforcement of city ordinances is another reason I want out of here. I get hassled because the lowlifes around here use the easement behind my house as a garbage dump - but the absentee landlords are given a free pass. Sickening.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Hah!

The Gateway Arch museum alone is worth THAT short a drive .... And their "exploratorium", and the train museum west of town, and the Indian mounds north and east of town in Illinoise are also great.

(Course, we really went to see the Brewery's gardens. Heh, heh.)

But Six Flags was fun too, with assorted cousins under foot.

[Gabz]

I remember you and I talking about our hubs both flying last october.

I've never had a problem flying, and will take it over long drives any day - I hated driving from NYC to Florida and back every summer when I was a teen.

[xsmommy]

i was there on business a long time ago, but we did go up in the arch. didn't do all that fun stuff though, robt. you are just a thrillseeker i guess ; )
