What’s Ning you may ask. Ning is …
Osborn & Barr Re-locating Headquarters
I thought that Osborn & Barr had some pretty nice digs in Clayton, MO but from the sound of it they’re going to get even nicer. Of course there is that downtown traffic to contend with but then it wasn’t great out in the Clayton area either at times. Last week they announced that the agency will be re-locating its …

MO Hail
It might have been a sunny spring day yesterday but today is a different story. Here’s the scene on my deck a few minutes ago. As the hail stopped the sun poked out for about 10 seconds too. Yep, a typical midwest weather pattern for the spring. I’m sure someone out there will get the notion that this is unusual …

He’s been doing it since 2003. This year’s event will be held June 28th. The first Show-Me Tractor Cruise began in 2003. We decided to make …
