I also saw a store here called "Lactation" the other day with slings in the windows.
The world is so much better when people put their art in it.

I am not saying that they built this just cause of us… but, they totally built this cause of us. 
LOL. We went to downtown St. Louis today to check out their new city Garden. It was their opening day today. It was really nice… I hope their weren’t too many chemicals. Annnnnyway…there are other wading fountains in St. Louis, but it seems like they aren’t very well kept. Hopefully they keep these ones nice.
There wasn’t too many people there.. just a few people & some people with name tags that were very proud about what they had accomplished-getting in the way of everyone’s shots. As long as they keep up the maintenance, I promise to not become too supercilious, lol.
Watching CNN.
People fighting over the climate bill.
People fighting over the healthcare reform.
Argument #1: The job loss. Idiots.
Argument #2: Wait time for a PCP(100 days). Tell that to people who can’t see a doctor at all.
How do these people have the balls to get on TV and argue about these things.
I went for a LONG walk last night. It was probably still 90° out. At least there was no possibility of burning. I took Chloe, but I forgot water. Not good. Neither of the two gas stations would let me have a cup of water. This town doesn’t have enough fountains. :\
Yesterday we went to the Soulard Farmers Market & The Art Museum & The Jewel Box to take pictures and bum around in the heat. At the the museum had AC. We bought strawberries for 1$. We met an old guy that was nice who sold us the strawberries. We also went down the the levees in St. Louis were it seems like they pretty much allow graffiti. There was at least a mile of graffiti. There was a perfect rendition on "the Lorax" …a movie I have always equaled with this area. 
I don’t think it was an accident that they chose that Suess character. It was SO hot. We drank lots of water.
We watched Into The Wild by Sean Penn in film class. I want to watch a movie that isn’t depressing! I came home in tears. I relate to Christopher McCandless so much. Between this and Blue Velvet(which was a *great* fathers day movie /end sarcasm) and even Taxi Driver, I just feel drained writing about these and thinking about them in order to write about them.
Insignificant things are bugging me. I guess I will post my essay on this movie someday … stay tuned.
I have never seen this Norman Rockwell before.
When we went to the coffeeshop in Lebanon, they had a huge NR book there.
I love that there are pirates and indians & cowboys.
I love the contrasts of liberal-y people and extremists(conservative or religious, or both!)
I like how it is a little dark for NR.
Have you ever seen this. What do you think?
Well, I wish. hah. They are SO pretty.
Ashlee sent us a package with stuff from S. America in it. Trinity got a pink scarf that she used for a head wrap - and looked very glamorous. She also got a little flowered apron with yellow edging that she turned sideways and tied around her arms like it was a bolero. Jonas got an adorable little fuzzy alpaca hat and alpaca socks with little alpaca’s on them. I was explaining to him about alpaca wool and we had just watch a show called “Franny’s Feet” this morning about shearing sheep to make clothes and he was totally into it. 
Isn’t this beautiful??!!

This is proof that when people live outside of their means, they don’t know how to cope when money is scarce. What a sad thing. It sounds like their family is heartbroken, as they should be. I hope that anyone who is going through financial changes right now can inspire themselves and each other to adjust in a more logical way. I mean, you can still have happiness if you don’t have money.
Madoff is a jerk. I keep thinking of the movie Shark Tale when the Will Smith’s fish character is in front of the press and the crazy transient fish announces “I’M HIS FINANCIAL ADVISOR!” … (yes, that crazy) I think there was puppet involved too. It was funny, but the shtuff that people like Madoff pulls is not. :/
