The Day After

When you're in St Louis, you've got to go to the Arch.  Seems like a given; each time I see it I'm impressed all over again.

We went up to the old courthouse where the Dread Scott decision was delivered.

 The courthouse.

Inside.

The courtroom there the decision was given.

Then over to City Park where the water ran red after the local baseball team won an important game last night.  It seems that there was a bit of celebrating after the game.  There were lots of sirens in our neighborhood.

 I feel so ashamed; I titled this "running in the red".  It's as good as I can do these days.  What with the stress of retirement and all.

This is one of the cleaner spots downtown near Busch Stadium the morning after game 7.

Back at the park now; I'm told there is yet another sporting contest tomorrow.  It is a "football" game, but that can't be because they say that the players are allowed to touch the ball with their hands.

Whatever, I plan to watch some soccer on Roger's enormous HDTV.

Try to stay awake.
