The flaw with positioning myself at the end of the #STL St Patrick's parade, is the Irish dancers are too tired to dance. #STL314

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? 😤

Hoffmann’s takeover of Post-Dispatch parent co. means change—but how much? David Hoffmann got what he wanted. The Missouri-born billionaire spent the better part of 2025 pursuing the newspaper publisher Lee Enterprises, and on December 30, he closed the deal. The company’s I...

Here's to hoping that Hoffmann will revitalize the @stltoday Comics page that Lee Enterprises ruined. www.stlmag.com/news/hoffman...

Hello again. The Dining Archives RSS feed has gone silent since September 29. The last one published was about Havana 1961. Is it gone forever? Does it have a new feed?

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.

I do this too. I regularly ask ChatGPT to evaluate my original prompt and rewrite it for me. Then I save that version for future use.

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

Bicyclists lined up to start the Moonlight Ramble ride in St. Louis.

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.

Seems like there was initially a lot of enthusiasm in the #genealogy community for Bluesky. I follow many of the well-known genealogists, but my feed has gone mostly silent. Sometimes days go by with nothing.
