We decided to check out the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri before picking up our mail at the local drop (Roger's house).

We had a late lunch with him, then walked a block or so in "The Hill" an Italian neighborhood famous for good food.

I noticed a flood of "floaties" growing in my right eye. From previous experience I figured we'd better get it checked out. There was a VA hospital nearby so we checked into the emergency room. Five hours later I had been thoroughly examined by a resident eye doc and referred to a local eye clinic for conformation and possible laser repair (diagnosis: PVD or small retinal detachment).
So we spent today doing laundry and getting laser surgery at the "renowned" Washington University at St Louis. Twenty minutes and a bunch of green flashes later, we walked out all better. Looks like I'll have to give up heading the ball for a while.
We were going to move the fifth wheel tomorrow but decided another day goofing off was in order and we'd move downtown the next day.
Finally rained today after a fine sunset last night.
Stay well
