Holed up just outside of St. Louis. Went up the arch for some spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The museum of Westward Exploration is fascinating - I could have spent a whole day there.

Looking up at the arch from below made me think of "Ringworld" so I came up with this composite shot...

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Yesterday was my birthday, and I was regaled with good wishes from friends around the globe. It was also the 100th anniversary of my father's birth - we shared the same birthdate, he 42 years before me. He only made it to 80, but his memory goes on forever.



Happy Birthday, Pop!

Just stopped for a hasty dinner of seraphim and cherubim outside of Galatin, Missouri - I drove through Liberty where I visited the site of the old Liberty Jail where Joseph Smith was imprisoned,


Liberty Jail Reconstruction on original foundation

followed by a visit to Adam-Ondi-Ahman, which to me is one of the most peaceful, sacred places on earth. It's the second time I've had the chance to visit the site - today it was very thunderstormy but still delightful to be there:

These are not my best composites but I don't have access to my stitcher on the road. They will have to suffice.

A little farther down the road toward Omaha tonite, until I feel like I've done enough.

Kathy made me laugh when she came back from Hawaii and described the natives at a Luau as saying they don't eat until they're full... they eat until they're tired. Sounds like my kind of people!

Been there, done that and bought that T-Shirt back in 1969. Converted from The First Church of Who the Hell knows Nothin' (Secular Humanist Agnostic) to the LDS faith. And never looked back. It felt like coming home.
