Celebration at the Station

What was this driver doing??!!

Downtown Walk

Day Trip to Boonville Missouri

Here I complain about a common problem encountered while driving...

Dash cam vid of us driving into downtown Boonville...

Ken, Tima and I set out for Boonville Missouri. We walked around mainly downtown. We walked to the Boonville depot on the Katy trail. We stopped at a great art gallery called Zuzak, which was once a department store and was even at one time one of Sam Waltons Ben Franklin's stores. We ate at Glenns Cafe in the Hotel Frederick. A lot of the glass etchings were done by Bill Drummond, with design work by Peregrine Honig. We got the grand tour of the hotel by the manager. We then crossed the Missouri River via the highway bridge which is also being used as the crossing point for the Katy trail. The old Katy Railroad bridge has been saved from demolition, and I think there are hopes it can be used for the Katy trail. We finished up in the evening as the sun went down, after seeing beautiful sunsets on the bridge.

Leaving Boonville...


Driving into the Kansas City crossroads...

West central Kansas Tornado

I was surprised to see the radar images last night when I came home from work. There was a damaging derecho raging across central Kansas, but even more surprising were the reports from earlier in the evening of a huge tornado associated with the storm.

Derecho with tornado tearing across central Kansas tonight 5-25 to 5-26-10

Strange weather in Central Kansas tonight -- it seems what appears to be a derecho has been tearing across central Kansas with a tornado.

Severe Weather shifting north

Today a lot of the action was in the Dakotas and in Nebraska.
