49°F and clear skies this morning, going up to 79° today. Maybe I should have taken off work today ... this might be that last kayaking day I've been hoping for.
Wife had an interesting experience yesterday. While at a dog training client's home in our hometown, she saw a delivery driver leave a package on their front porch. A few moments later, she heard another noise, and turned to see a young kid trying to porch pirate the package. Kid tried to lie his way out of it, and the ensuing scolding ended in a discussion with the kid's grandmother across the street. The three small kids apparently live with her, while their (heroin addict) parents are living in the garage. The lady she was training said the kids don't even go to school. That area she used to be a pretty nice neighborhood. Apparently not anymore.
The floor looks great, David. Nice work.
Mostly_, there is indeed a 22° bend in the middle of the Chain Of Rocks Bridge. I can remember going across it when I was a youngster. That was a scary narrow bridge already, and that bend didn't help. It's been closed to traffic since the early 1970s, and was eventually reopened to foot and bicycle traffic in the 1990s as part of the Greenways project that's trying to complete a path from the Gateway Arch north to the bridge over to Illinois and then south to the park on the East St Louis side. It is pretty neat to ride across, with lots of Route 66 nostalgia to look at.
