We don't have oceans and Great Lakes in my sliver of the Midwest, but we do have ''America's River.'' Find a spot to get a good look before #Fall slips away.

In Collinsville, IL, we're also celebrating our new Chicago-born pope.

Still learning my way around iPhone 16, but by gosh the camera was worth the upgrade from my 13 mini. (This is Blue.)

Today, I remembered how much fun it is bobbing in a sea of red, while watching good baseball at Busch. #stl fans turned out in force for Opening Day & didn't let the rain win. And that's because the @Cardinals played like Cardinals today. #GoCards ! #stlcards #FirstPlace

Tell me what day it is without telling me what day it is, #stl!
Hint: I'll be wearing my cool Christmas present from STL-Style.
Hoping the skies clear & the baseball is improved, too. #GoCards!

Egg Watch: A dozen eggs now $5.97 at Walmart.
Also, watch unemployment, folks. Layoffs are like dominoes falling through an economy. I learned that covering the Great Recession.

The very best place in #stl to get in your 10,000 steps this afternoon was the Saint Louis Zoo. Not only are the pathways clear, but you get to watch KANGAROOS IN THE SNOW. #stlwx #stlzoo #SaintLouisZoo #KangaroosofBlueSky @stlzoo.bsky.social
