I was in the passenger seat of a friends car today & she took me through a few neighborhoods that were hit by the tornadoes a while back. We went through fairgrounds & o’fallon parks. Believe me when I tell you that an unbelievable amount of trees were gone. Trees I’ve been looking at/interacting with for decades. I got to lay eyes on a few places where I spent good chunks of my childhood. Every place is so run down. Still I’d like to go inside of a few of them. I remain fond of a few things … but the people … I could have done without. They never fail to mess things up.
