subtle revolution

"There are two kinds of revolutionists, as of most things- a good kind and a bad. The bad revolutionists destroy conventions by appealing to fads- fashions that are newer than conventions. The good do it by appealing to facts that are older than conventions." (G.K. Chesterton)

the arch



Okay. Fine. I'll post a picture of the Arch. I guess I would be irresponsible to live in the St Louis area and not post a picture of the Arch. Here are a few pictures I took on a trip there with my brother back in February. There is the traditional shot and then some views from the top. The picture quality isn't great... someday I may get a higher quality digital cam, but that takes money- I don't have money. You'll see a shot of the sign marking the pinnacle point in the Arch as it reaches 630 feet above the Missouri landscape as well as a shot of the mighty Mississippi looking into the dreary and dreaded state of Illinois. The final pic is a shot of new Busch Stadium where the Cardinals play. The shot of the stadium was taken during construction a number of months ago. Enjoy the Arch!

    Thank you so much! I love the Arch! I walked there alone from the Greyhound bus station while traveling across country in 1983. I have always wanted to go back and take Mitch & the kids. A unique landmark and part of our American pioneering heritage!
