Flood

Some of you have expressed a little curiosity and even a little concern about the news reports on the flooding along the Mississippi River that has made it to St. Louis.

Rest assured- the water is no where near my house or street and most likely won't affect my day-to-day existence in any majorly inconvenient ways.

But I did take a trip to the water's edge today to see the river for myself. If you've been here to visit me you might recognize the river front below the arch... or you might not since it's all under water!

The last one shows the plaque marking the level of the river in 1993... just for a little perspective.
