Hidden Snake

Walking along, la la la, taking a hike through the woods, la la la. Oh, wow! Snake in the bushes right off the path!

Keith Johnson Trio

My dads' band was asked to play at the McKinley Bridge Bikeway and Trestle Opening in May 2008. They were at the opening on the Missouri side. Standing in the background is Mayor Slay who later came and wanted a picture with them while they were playing.

The Road Behind

I took this thinking it would be a nice picture. It didn't look nice to me in the camera, but I'm looking at it on my computer and I like it. It has a kind of symbolism to it.

Mississippi

The Mississippi River floods a few times every year if everything goes according to plan. It's flooding right now. This time it's bad enough to close the riverboat casino, "The President". It's sad because I like to go look at the graffiti wall down there. If you don't know how to get around the flood, or if the water is high enough, there's no looking at that wall.

Accidents Happen

This is what happens when you're rear-ended at 70 mph in the fast lane.

My mom and brother were riding along, SUV comes up going too fast, rear-ends vehicle and takes off. Car spins and does a face plant into a concrete barrier in the middle of a very busy highway. Don't worry though, my family is doing alright. No other persons or vehicles were harmed in this incident.

Uninsured motorist insurance (never did find the SUV) and witnesses are very good things!

That's the rest of the car that was pulled off the highway. The parts that were no longer attached. Humpty Dumpty was totaled and couldn't be put back together again.

Just Say No

I just had to get a picture of this. Do not get a flat or have car problems on this road. There are laws against it.
