  2. I believe in "The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis"

    Unlike a mermaid, Aquawoman evolved from absorbing medications and toxins in the offshore waters

    A blogging friend has a brilliant treatise about this concept

  5. Wonder if those were Ruecking Construction Co workers setting those pavers? I'm interested in buying memorabilia of RCC.

  6. What a beautiful living city. Humans actually living near each other and interacting with one another. Now St. Louisans have largely sheltered themselves in suburban bunkers driving from place to place to avoid interactions with folks they don't like.

  7. City dwellers are no different than suburbanites...they have their faces buried in their "smart phones" thereby avoiding interactions with folks they don't like.

  8. Notice the photos of North St. Louis. There are actual thriving businesses, and people aren't afraid to walk the streets. How refreshing.

  11. That was great a part of st Louis history. Before st Louis was infected with thugs I bet crime rate was a lot lower and had a larger population then. Sorry if the truth hurts if it does call 1 800 st Louis thugs we are here to kill a city for you
