WE'RE ABOUT TO BE DAZZELED

If you're near Kirkwood, Missouri,
you're aware of a quiet addition to
to the neighborhood.

That strange building on the corner
of Monroe and Taylor.

Here's a peek at the "about to open"
Kirkwood Performing Arts Center.

All I can say is WOW.

It's huge.
Grand opening next month.
This will change the arts scene
in St. Louis, forever.

And they've got the most accomplished,
experienced and creative director
at the helm . . .

CALIFORNIA ON FIRE

Believe it or not, but this is downtown

San Francisco, on the Embarcadero,

10:30am Thursday morning.

California is devastated by 28 separate

and major wildfires, making this the

worst fire in the state's history.

The air is orange throughout the Bay Area, and

especially dangerous up through Washington state,

displacing 64,000 residents thus far.

300,000 acres of forest and timberland

have been destroyed thus far,

with whole towns up in flames.

Climate change is widely attributed

to these dry and windy conditions,

with no relief in sight.

The toll to wildlife and residents won't

be known until the fires subside.

God bless all who have lost their homes,

and to the firefighters who bravely 

battle this blaze.

UGLIEST CHAIR EVER

Every once in a while,

I recover discarded items

in our community dumpster.

My best find, last year,

a full size KitchenAid mixer.

But not today!

This has to be the ugliest chair

ever recycled in the trash.

(Mid 1980s, don't you think?)

And last night's thunderstorm

didn't help it, one bit.

GOT MY SHOT

It's not too soon

to get your hi-dose flu shot.

Especially during our pandemic.

Ok, your turn!
