Hey, Nice Tool
Yep, that's what I said to my mechanic as he rushed by me in the waiting room. I thought it would slide over his head but no he laughed. I took a photo to illustrate my wit to Pist when I noticed the old spelling of my last name. I asked if his people were from BLLVLL and lo, we are related along the line.

School's Out Forever
Euclid School. Ponderous Romanesque Revival style designed by a German. So sturdy that the tornado only *budged* part of the roof. INO, this school survived as a blatant eff you.
Chris, over at St. Louis Patina, wrote an article on this school in 2020.

Yesterday. After the Storm. Benton Park West
After a stromy afternoon in NSTL I picked up Pist at WU and we headed to Frazier's. I told him that I was taking the scenic route.
Along the way he divulged the plot to the movie, Scenic Route, which he suspected I would love becuase of its Mojave desert setting.

Effing Kudzu is in North St. Louis City
I was about today in NSTL. I went to visit Aaron in his Mom's house on Garfield and then on to Ashland to drop off stuff to Larry and Avon.
On the ride home I passed Urban Leauge, Looked to the east and did a triple take: IS THAT KUDZA IN North St. Louis CITY?
It is. Not to be confused with the 3 leaf posion ivy, Kudzu has hairy stems. DAMN! This shit grows up to a foot a day and swallows buildings! https://mdc.mo.gov/trees-plants/invasive-plants/kudzu-control#:~:text=Kudzu%20(Pueraria%20montana)%20is%20a,is%20one%20of%20the%20worst.

Horatio
Horatio Hung-Yan Law moved to Portland after two years with me on McPherson and started making Public Art. Tom Howe took this picture of his installation "Velosaurus" at the Powell 17th Ave Underpass at dusk. He figured there's about a one-minute window where all four panels were completely lit by sunlight.
Ho is one of the funniest men I know. I thought of him as Ratio. He tried to teach me how to say his Chinese name, Hung-Yan. I stumbled. Christian, he said, Just call me Hung.
One day he asked, Christian! Do we have any good mails today?
Ho, I replied, Mail is singluar.
Oh yeah, he said, My students always get on my butts for that....hey, don't make fun of my Chinglish!
Your chinglish is fine! It's your English that is hilarious.
Hung is a love.

TinkerBelle, Number Two Daughter, is likewise obsessed with prime numbers. At the dog park she will gather 3, 5, or 7 balls. She'll stand in the midst. She also loves to be dressed.
