More Dashboard Highlights

Any morning in St. Louis.. this one happened to be Wednesday. Posted by Picasa

Not Just Your Basic 18 Wheeler

Here's another new semi-regular feature. We'll call it, um...... Dashboard Highlights! Images from the driver's or passenger's seat of the 'Express as we travel around the country.

I encountered this rolling roadblock somewhere between Effingham, IL and St. Louis, on I70. As best as I can determine, this is a "74-Wheeler", and it was really heavy. The state trooper held up traffic as the oversize load took each overpass alone... and at no more than 5mph. Guess how long the backup was?

I don't know, because I was close to the front, but the radio chatter was not fit for family listening.

More to come...

Political Endorsement.



While there's still time, I want to reach out to all our friends in Texas, and say... if you don't elect this man your next governor, you're all morons! But then, based on your past political choices... we already knew that. (insert evil grin here)

It's not too late. Change is good.

A New York Album

Interested in more from our day in New York? Click on the link above to see more, like Riverside Church, lunchtime at Columbia University, Cathedral of St John the Divine, Times Square, and more. This is a detail from the Cathedral... pretty creepy. Posted by Picasa

Halloween in the Big Apple..

This is what you might see if you were in New York on Halloween, as we were yesterday.

We got to see the run-up to the Halloween parade. These guys were the "Grand Marshall". I'm told they were the real deal. How would I know?

Baseball: A Cautionary Tale for Bloggers.

Yup. Sometimes we can be wrong. Or... sometimes we can be a little premature. Nevertheless, the Tigers, considering where they had been the last 15 years or so, had a hell of a season, and a good post-season run. Favorite columnist, Mitch Albom, has a nice take on the season and the World Series here .
