Some funny things along the way:
The "Real Book Fake Book" for the positionally challenged.
The signs along the streets declared:
"No parking on even Tuesdays"
"No parking the 2nd Wednesday of the Month"
I tremble in fear, for the tales behind these ominous (and strange) signs must be terrible and ancient. "On the night of an even Tuesday, with a full moon high in the sky, the steedless horseman rides through town, silent and shrowded by fog, and any vehicle parked on the street is never seen again ...."
At Washington University, nearly everything is named after somebody.
---Their new school of law building is named "Anheuser-Busch". As our tour guide said, it gives a whole new meaning to "passing the bar exam"!
---Right in the middle of campus is a big open space named - oddly enough - "Mudd Field".
As we drove along, we saw a school named "Visitation Academy". Kind of like drive-through restaurants and drive-in movies?
A professionally printed church sign:
"Esther: It's tough being a women." I suppose it is!
