Coolie Hats

Fog wasn't limited to St. Louis over the weekend. When we left on Friday, we snapped these pictures below as we approached downtown along LSD.



Look at that wall of fog!! We couldn't see any buildings from this stoplight at Chicago Ave.
















Just a few blocks further though, the fog started to clear.
























And then down in Grant Park, the fog was gone. Crazy.









On the way to St. Louis, we passed Pekin, Illinois, at which time LL noted that her father said a school there used to be called the Pekin Chinks. "Shananigans!!" I yelled. However, according to the all knowing source of knowledge, Wikipedia, he was right. Unbeliveable that it didn't change until 1983. And WHO let's their high school student body decide on what the school name should be? They are lucky it didn't end up being the "Retards" or "Pot Smokers". What dopes.....pardon the pun.

Shenanigans? Really? You yelled that? LOL!

We get a lot of that crazy fog around here. I'll barely be able to find my way out of the driveway some days, then a mile away, it's completely clear.
