I put my work gloves, a chainsaw and an ax in the back of my SUV. We're heading out to see if we can find a place serving hot food. The power is still out unfortunately. We spent three hours working in the yard. I'm a bit bummed by the damage we got but others have it way worse so I'm going to move forward and just deal with it as best I can. Mostly insurance claims anyway.

Have a good Saturday friends! 🙂

Good morning everyone. There is wide spread destruction across the state of Missouri. Multiple tornadoes ripped through our area. We have trees down and hail damage. I haven't been able to access how severe on the roof but the cars have countless dents. We're all safe, that's all that matters. The power has been off since 9pm last night so I hope it's back in soon. I've heard it might be three days.

Stay safe everybody and have a good day.

Saw this at the current exhibit at Wash U's Kemper Art Museum. The whole exhibit is about seeds and the art is lovely, but this really stunned me. The drawers are full of seeds taken from plants growing locally, which you can take.

In celebration, I'm sharing a tiny tech time capsule — a collection of textfiles related to St. Louis-area #BBS networks!

I gathered these 30 years ago when I was cosysop of "Something in the Attic BBS" and seeking to attract more users.

Brace yourself for all manner of capitalization! (PIllowNet, SPORKnet, StupidNET)

Ending "z"s!

And lots of exclamation marks!

🚨 Missouri House passes bill repealing voter-approved mandated paid sick leave 🚨

Proposition A passed in November with 57% of the vote. The statute raises the minimum wage to an eventual $15 an hour in 2026. It also mandates paid sick leave for employees with some exceptions.

The legislation passed on Thursday entirely repeals the mandated sick leave portion. It also removes any minimum wage increase slated to go in effect in January 2027 and beyond.

They Had an Answer to Their City’s Decline. Then Came the Immigration Crackdown.
