Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

St. Genevieve - 5/5

Lili stole Chelsea’s thunder today.  It is Chelsea’s Birthday, but Lili is now the talk of the town because she left a note at the restaurant we celebrated at, the Anvil.  In this note she broke the news to the waitress that the cheese they served her was, in fact, American and not Cheddar.  Lili did add that the service was very nice, so it wasn’t just criticism, and signed her name to be polite.  Later when we were heading home from the Sand Bar where we toasted Chelsea on her name day, a car stopped ahead of us and shouted something that took us a couple of moments to comprehend.  They said, “The Brick House’s Cheddar is real cheese.”  The Brick House is the other restaurant in town we considered going to and, according to a sign, was the first brick house erected west of the Mississippi.  So yeah, within the course of a couple hours most of the town heard about Lili’s note and can pick us out in a crowd.  Hopefully this doesn’t prove poorly for us on future St. Genevieve excursions!

In terms of service, we just took a course in safety involving UTV’s and off road vehicles.  It was an online course so nothing spiffy, but I think it makes the MDC folks a little more comfortable after a couple of rough weeks.  Good news is that we have a new UTV (new as in I haven’t used this one yet)…bad news is the one we were using last week needs to be checked out because the front right tire suspension was acting funny.  So, we’re still at 1 vehicle, but hopefully another one will be ready for action again soon.  Regardless, it is back to highway work tomorrow!


Good night all and a big Happy Birthday to you Chelsea Catalano!


A throw wayyy back to when we did Quest.
