Reading Time: < 1 minute And today they had a big parade in the downtown St. Louis, from Union Station to the Busch Stadium. I took the newly completed metro link from Brentwood to the Stadium; and it took an hour to get there because there are too many people taking the train. Unlike the metro (subway) in Shanghai, the light railway
Reading Time: 2 minutes Did quite a bit shopping lately. This all started one Monday evening I felt bored and went to shopping mall. I stepped into a “Sleep Solutions” store and the associate showed me the “personal computerized sleep profile analysis”. This reminded me of similar computerized thing in a shoe store. Basically it helps the consumer choose
Reading Time: < 1 minute I saw lots of World Series T-shirt coming to the stores since Cardinals clinched a spot on Thursday night. Of course here in St. Louis most shirts are in red, the color of Cardinals. I found the following one at local Sams Club store, which is neutral, and the design is kind cute. Being a
Reading Time: < 1 minute St. Louis Cardinals won the NY Mets 3:1 tonight. It was a close game, and a good one. The only thing is I watched it at home just by myself, should have gone to some sports bar and seen some happy fans. I took a few pictures from TV screen.
Reading Time: < 1 minute Panera Bread stock (PNRA) had a quite good run recently. There are mixed reactions from the Wall Street, Jim Cramer likes it (regional to national expansion), while Herb Greenberg is cautious about it. In my opinion, its new product, crispani pizza (intended more for dinner) is the key for growth. I have tasted the free
Reading Time: < 1 minute Visited a few wineries in Augusta this past weekend. I have been there couple times and still enjoyed it. The view from Montelle Winery is always good (see the picture below). Not many people are aware that Missouri is the second largest winer maker in the US (second to California). Here is a link of some wineries.
Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s not pleasant to have power outage, but it’s cool to check the power status from the web. Not to mention that the power is back. Now go Cardinals (against NY Mets in NLCS)! ============================== Recent Outage (Restored in the last 48 hours.) Outage start date/time: Wednesday Oct 11, 2006 5:28 PM Outage status: Power
Reading Time: < 1 minute Drove along the “Great River Road” from Alton to Grafton yesterday, the Missisipi River and the changing colors on the mountains looks great. No wonder there are so many people in the bars and grills at the town of Grafton. I also saw people with boats enjoying the water before the winter chill – this is probally
Reading Time: < 1 minute That’s 3 years in a row. Quite impressive, isn’t it? Interestingly, it seems they are not the favorites (for world series) among commentators. Some even said they are a two men team (Carpenter, Pujos). Let’s see how they do. The series with San Diego Padres starts on Tuesday Oct 3rd. I tried to put a
Reading Time: < 1 minute Went to Creve Coeur Lake Park today. This is my roller blading (skating) place. The trees are changing colors these days and the view is very beautiful. Sometimes we travel long ways to famous places like Yosemite (in California), but in my mind we can enjoy similar things (in smaller scales) near our home: Creve Coeur
