Remembering George Carlin

First a look at a younger George on the Tonight Show on 1966.


And the older George that most of us know. A bit rougher, edgier, and more in your face. But you still have to appreciate his writing.

A few snaps from the flooded Archgrounds

From what I have read the Mississippi began to recede today. Hopefully the worst is past for all of the town that have suffered from the floods of 2008.


The normal riverbank is BEYOND the flags.


A nice illustration of how high the boats have risen relative to the shore.


Another nice way to tell how high the water has gotten.


A shot from under the Arch of the Old Courthouse.

People will fry anything

"That is a lot of colorful people."

I went to the annual Central West End Art Fair and Taste this weekend. I brought my camera along hoping to find some interesting subjects. Little did I know that there would be a flock of brightly colored high schoolers and college kids running around like a flash-mob.

Three Overtimes?!?

**Sigh**

Nothing can ruin well-intentioned plans to go to bed early like having the Stanley Cup Finals game you are watching go to three overtimes.

In other news....

It looks like a consumer group has finally gotten somewhere in calling out AT&T for their sneaky practice of allowing third-party content providers to charge wireless customers without their knowledge. I have been a victim of this myself, only recently finding out that I had been billed up to $20 per month for a while now without ever giving permission for such charges.

Hopefully getting the refund will not be a huge hassle.
