September Already.
I wrote about how I dislike the slide into Autumn/Winter in my post “Autumn” last year so I won’t go into all that again (spoiler alert: I don’t like it). However, I did manage better last year with extra vitamin D so I’ll be doing that again. I have already doubled what I take in the summer and will double it again after the autumn equinox.
Will a classic St Louis summer thunderstorm interrupt our World Cup final viewing? Only time will tell.
Drone show

The year was 2008, and the movie was Elizabethtown. Actually, that movie was released in 2005 but by 2008 the DVD was out. And DVDs mean only one thing: you watch the same movie over and over until you get sick of it...or until you get just plain sick. Either works. Elizabethtown is not a very good movie at all.

Into the Great Wide Open, or, Road-trippin' in South Dakota
There is a place in the United States of America where if you happen to glance out your window as you drive past on the highway, you might see a metal sculpture of a skeletal man leading an equally skeletal T-Rex toward a small western town. Skeleton Man and his pet live “between.” They’re in that hazy world between the place you left and the place you want to be. They are a part of the ride that you live through before you get to where you were really going. There was a time when families used ...
I'll tell you about Texas Radio and the Big Beat
Sherman, set the WABAC machine to about 2006, I guess. I hadn't actually had anything other than a point-and-shoot camera in my hands in quite some time. I used to borrow one of those Sony Mavica MVC FD90 cameras from work just about every weekend though. Anyone remember those? You'd put a 1.44 MB (that's megabyte, not gigabyte) floppy disk in the thing as your storage medium. The disk would hold about six shitty 1.6-megapixel images on it, so if you were going anywhere, you'd either have to be ...
