St. Peters, Missouri
Dude! Where is St. Peters?
It’s west of St. Louis on I-70 not too far from where I-70 crosses the Missouri River.
It was in the 40′s when I left Atlanta and the sun was shining. That didn’t last very long. Before I got out of Georgia, I had to put the sunglasses away ’cause it got cloudy. It was interesting going up to Mont Eagle pass seeing all the frozen water on the sides of the rocks. There was some snow on the ground as well. After I went through Nashville it started raining and the temperature started dropping. It was 34 degrees most of the way and then about 30 miles east of St. Louis it started snowing. That only lasted for about 20 miles.
Normally, I try to make it to Denver in two days, but I’m getting a little too old for those long pushes any more. I feel being a crip has added between five and ten years to my age so that makes be between 72 to 77 years old. My bil can still make those long drives since he’s a young whippersnapper of 71. (He’s in better shape than both my sister and I. I’m a crip and my sister is dying of cancer. Fortunately, it is a very slow form of cancer and she’ll prolly die of sumpin’ else before she dies of it.) For example, last year when we went to Park City, he drove and we made it from Atlanta to Kansas City in one day, sumpin’ I have done myself on these trips at least three times. The last two times, I only made it to Columbia Missouri another 90 miles down the road. I used to really love to drive, but I kinda wish he were driving on this trip. I took it easy this time, because tomorrow, I plan on only driving to Manhattan Kansas and meeting up with this guy. Every time I’ve been through here, he has wanted me to stop and every time, there were scheduling constraints. Since I’ve allocated three days to get to Denver, this is the perfect time.
It’s the scandal of the century! It’s worse than Ben Ghazi! It’s worse than the IRS scandal! It’s worse than the healthcare.gov fiasco! What am I talking about? It’s Khristy Kreme closing three lanes on the George Washington Bridge. Yep! There was a feeding frenzy with the LSM at today’s press conference about it. It’s all that was on the news today. If you have any doubt that the LSM is the propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party this “scandal” should dispel all doubts. The LSM is much more upset about this “scandal” than they were over Ben Ghazi, the IRS, or the roll out of Obummercare. They were in high dudgeon today! Today, they were tougher on Khristy Kreme than they were on Thunder Rodent Thighs and Obungler over Ben Ghazi where four Americans were left to die. Khristy Kreme has also answered more questions about this than Obumbler and Thunder Rodent Thighs combined did on Ben Ghazi. Pitiful! This is what passes for “journalism” today. Dimocrat good. Republican bad. Chicago thug politics good. New Jersey thug politics bad if a Republican is the thug. Had it been a Dimocrat it would have been OK. I don’t even like Khristy Kreme and I still think the hypocrisy practiced by the LSM over this is outrageous. Has Oblunder fired anyone over Beh Ghazi, the IRS, or healthcare.gov? Khristy Kreme has already fired at least one person already.
