Hello my friend siscokid! Sounds like a plan to me. I've got life preservers just in case the train sinks on the way over to the Island. I'll meet you under the 'arch' in St Louis, I'll meet you on shore not in the river. Hey, I was thinking about bringing something to eat for the trip. My neighbors all raise cattle around here so I thought one or two of them ought to be sufficient and they won't miss them, much. Do ya think? I'll bring a load of corn for them to eat on the trip and a few shovels to clean up after them. We'll bring their manure to OMM and let him and JO use it on there front yard with the new plants they got. Neighbors will love them for the nice cow pasture smell and who knows, maybe after we barbecue Betsey and Hilda (the cows) in the front yard we'll get to meet some of his friendly neighbors also. I'm leaving tomorrow for St Louis so it should only take me a few weeks to get there. That will be me with the hickory walking stick, knapsack full of NL#5 and the two girls, Betsey and Hilda.
How are we getting back? Oh well not important, right? Oh ya! We'll return with some rented Burrows from your bro!
OMM the tripod wasn't crooked, it was the rest of the world.
I know, I know! Too much intelligence will kill me......
