Spent the weekend
with the Oglet, as previously stated. A lot of road time, but a lot of good time, as well; I have a guy on the inside in STL who told me there would be no news over the weekend, and of course it was as cold as a welldiggers ass, so we went up the Arch and looked around, the oglet, the ogwife, and I, and as it turns out, two more visitors from the Great White Northin a washing machine
This is no time to dance. Or place, neither. The claustrophobic need not apply.
Anyway, we hung out at the top for a while. it was a calm day, thank G-d, so the damned thing wasn’t waving in the breeze, but it was clear as well so you could really enjoy the view.
We ended the day by going to the Old Spaghetti Factory, the only place in north America where I will deliberately eat pasta. The Ogwife decided then and there that she wanted to move to St Louis.
I suppose between osf and Ted Drewes I might agree, but then ferguson. Suppose I will stick some pics up on the book of face eventually.
I like parts of St loius as well. But I don’t think much of the suburbs. Good things in that town. Not for long, I guess.
Glad you made it in and out okay!
I live about five miles N. of the Seattle city limits. There’s an OSF about two miles N of me. I got pissed off when they took spaghetti with chicken liver sauce off the menu. When the head cookist explained that they couldn’t justify it with only me and three other customers ordering it I relented.
Fortunately they still have the sausage lovers special that comes to less than $25 with beverage and a tip. Five kinds of Italian sausage one of which is in a red sauce over about a metric ton of spaghetti and some comes in a penne pasta dish.
Then I recieved a copy of the chicken liver sauce recipe in the mail. Gotta love ’em.
Oh, yeah! Seattle has all the fun “demonstrations” but the Seattle Police have the answer: hose ’em down with plain fresh water, they can’t stand that, I think it’s physically painful to them.
I wrote and suggested they add soap to the water, along the lines of the foam airports spray on runways for emergency landings. That would probably kill ratbastardanarchocommies on contact.
I hope.
Never been to OSF, so no opinion there. St. Louis, however, used to be one the the prime beer cities in the U.S., thanks to the German/Czech/assorted population. Don’t know if it still is. I try to avoid large flat spaces, so I’ve never been there.
