Pet peeve: digital clocks that kick you out of “set time” mode in 10 seconds. Like… I just entered the correct time. Can I get one full minute to hit Start before it disappears and I have to do it all over again? 😤

Here's to hoping that Hoffmann will revitalize the @stltoday Comics page that Lee Enterprises ruined. www.stlmag.com/news/hoffman...
Hoffmann’s takeover of Post-Dispatch parent co. means change—but how much?

In a bold act of bravery and whimsy, I put on my left shoe first.
In my daily search for the comics in the print edition of @stltoday.com I notice there is still an "Everyday" section, but it is printed only one day each week. Hmm?
My favorite part of camping: sitting by the fire, under a sky full of stars. Everyone else’s favorite part: turning their campsite into a runway and then going inside for the night.
I like to imagine what the people who built this cool building in #STL would think if they came back from the dead and saw it now.
#PorchFest is one of my favorite annual events. It's a beautiful day in St. Louis #STL. porchfeststl.com
In "Total Eclipse of the Heart" Bonnie Tyler sings, "Turn around, bright eyes." Every time I hear it I can't help but think she's singing about Taylor from the original "Planet of the Apes." That was Zira's nickname for him before he regained his voice. #PotA
My parents first took me on the Moonlight Ramble in #STL when I was about 10 years old. I thought it was magical. In the good ol' days it started at 12:01 a.m. Now it starts at 10:00 p.m. It's just not the same.
I'm very excited to see this presentation about #NARA resources available for #STL #genealogy!
