Found this guy in the driveway today flat on his back. Thought he was dead at first but I saw him move a leg and open his mouth. Put him in a plastic dish with some water and he seems to be recovering a bit. Suspect a bird was trying to eat him and he got dropped.

A fantastic concert last night by Nightwish at Pop's. I missed them last year due to circumstances beyond my control but not this year! I've heard some criticism of Annette's ability to pull songs off live but she was outstanding. The band seemed to be having a good time. Glad to see a sizable crowd at Pop's. More Nightwish fans out there in St. Louis than I imagined.

Schneider Paint Company Fire

Just finished mowing the lawn when I noticed the fire just to the north of the subdivision.

Another Sunday, another round of CD ripping

Another Sunday, another round of CD ripping. I'd say I'm about 60% done with the project so far. Some of these CDs haven't been out of their cases in years. Some I had forgotten I even had though I see them on the wall all the time.

Saw this little teddy bear in a car at the junk yard yesterday. Just kind of made me a bit sad to see it sitting there. What is the story behind it?

Another Halloween over and gone. Hard to believe it is now November. Think I will leave the pumpkin out a few days more though.
