St. Louis and Serial Killers

Last night Kevin was watching CNN and they were discussing the difference between a serial killer and a killing spree. Apparently, they had just caught some guy that had gone on a weekend long killing spree and AC360 didn't quite understand the difference. So I peaked my head up from the computer and asked Kevin where said killing spree occurred.

Him: Right around here.
Me: No, seriously.
Him: Seriously, he was at Busch stadium last night.
Me: Interesting.

And guess where we were last night.....Busch Stadium. Guess it was good that we didn't go for the mile and a half walk through random streets!!! I did see a picture of the guy and I think I could take him. Most of the targets were people over 80 and kids and he was using some sort of blunt force to the head. We probably would have been okay but I guess it is never good to chance it will a killing spree going on. It is probably also good that we were unaware of said killing spree until AFTER they caught the guy!

So, anyway. Today we made our way to the National Transportation Museum. Basically, a little boys dream as they had TONS of trains and a few old cars. We walked around for a while and took a few pictures. There really wasn't that many exciting things occurring but in this installment of things that make Kevin giggle: a sign on the side of a train saying "DO NOT HUMP." He giggled over that one fore some time.

After the museum, we headed out to Kansas to meet up with Kevin's friend and his family. We got a tour of the University of Kansas in the hot plain state heat. I was trying my best to find Coach Mangino, figuring he would be hard to miss but alas our meeting was not meant to be and I had to settle for pictures in the Basketball Lobby/Shrine. For those of you who have never had the pleasure of seeing the wonder that is the KU football coach, let's just say he is large and in charge.

After a lovely dinner, we hung out with Steve and his family and watched his two boys (4 and 5) run around acting crazy. For some reason I think Kevin and I have some effect on crazying up other peoples kids although we were assured that they "are always like this!" Nevertheless, we had a great time. I think we kept Steve and his wife up a little later then they were used to as we did not head to bed until around 2 in the morning.

Most of today was spent in the car. Most of tomorrow will be spent in the car. The stories from in the car are far less interesting.
