[Spridgets] LOTO trip

[Larry Macy]

The St Louis Arch has a pretty cool museum. And I think you can still  
ride to the top in little tiny drum barrel type cars. The view is  
pretty cool, but I hope the replaced the windows since I was there  
about 15 years ago.

Going though St Louis one trip was kinda wild. I was driving a  
Suburban loaded with people (9) and camping gear, returning to PA  
after a canoe/camping trip on the Illinois River in OK. We hit the  
rat's nest of interchanges over the river just after dusk. Trying to  
find an off ramp to I70 East over the River, surrounded by 18 wheelers  
and crazy people, while everyone else  in the Suburban is going,  
"Cool!! Look at all the great Fireworks over the River!!!!' I tried to  
watch, but it was either have the fireworks be the last thing any of  
us ever saw, or miss the show. I am still here, so . . . .

Have a GREAT Trip Phil, (and to all others going to LOTO) I'll miss ya  
at MG '08.
