Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

2019 Route 66 Trip, Lebanon-- Part 5: An Easy Day
SUNDAY, JUNE 16
Another early morning thunderstorm, but it cleared up and turned into a nice day. Had a nice talk with the people staying in the next two rooms. That is an advantage of staying at an older mom and pop motel. You can't do that at the new motels unless at perhaps the free continental breakfast.
Went to the Wal-Mart, looking for St. Louis Blues Stanley Cup gear, but they had nothing. Ate breakfast at Hardee's again. Their new loaded hash browns is really good.
Roamin' Rich is going to be at the nearby Gasconade Bridge which is possibly on its way into oblivion and was thinking about going there, but didn't go. Went to the Legion and watched the Cardinals win. A lot of regulars were there, as well as the fun bartender from yesterday.
Back to the Munger-Moss and sat outside watching that neat old sign.

A Munger-Moss Motel Route 66 Trip-- Part 3: Music Under the Stars for Bob and Ramona's 45th
APRIL 23, 2016
Drove around Lebanon some after coming back from the Gasconade Bridge. Then enjoyed a sit-out on the porch in front of our room.
The place had a lot of people wandering around, some we knew.
Good idea of Ramona to bring our folding chairs, otherwise we would have been on the grass out there, not so bad, but at our age, getting off the ground is not so easy. We sure had a great time listening to Jess McEntire and the U.S. 66 band playing music about the road and a lot of country from 6 to about 10.
And, the Hawks came from a 3-1 deficit to win 6-3 to send our playoff series to a seventh game. Sorry about that Kip.

A Munger-Moss Motel Route 66 Trip-- Part 2: Save the Gasconade Bridge Rally
APRIL 23, SATURDAY
This was a busy day for us. I kicked it off with a trip to Hardee's for breakfast and brought back biscuits and gravy for Liz.
We drove out to the Gasconade Bride, 14 miles east of Lebanon, for the Save the Bridge Rally. There were several hundred people there, and, of course, a fair number of classic cars. The bridge was closed back in 2014 as it is unsafe for vehicular traffic anymore.
It is a classic bridge, one where you really know you're crossing a bridge, not one of those with the huge concrete blocks which just don't say bridge to me.
Walked across the bridge and could really see why they closed it. They had food and vendors. I rejoined the Missouri Route 66 Association.
