Barkus_1




I missed another posting last night so I'm going to backdate to keep my record untarnished. It's OK, I know what I'm doing, I won't get caught. 

Last night's post didn't make it because I've been nose-to-the-grindstone over the past week and there hasn't been time to shoot anything new. I did take yesterday and today off but then decided to throw an Indian-themed dinner party tonight. Indian food is some of the most time consuming food to prepare properly so I have been marathon cooking since yesterday morning. 

Also, we took last evening to go play trivia at the local electric workers' union. It was a fund raiser for a some cancer charity.  Trivia night-as-fund raiser is a unique St. Louis experience. I'm sure other cities do it, but here it is very much ingrained in the culture. There is always beer and wine and food and sold-out tables and it is usually held in a church or school basement. Most people will attend one at some point. For example, Katie and I have been to three in the past year and we are not really trivia people. That is, there are plenty of opportunities to play. Last night, in the union hall, was the largest of the trivia fund raisers we've been to. There were about thirty tables with eight people each competing. We came in second, then came home late and full of junk food.

Today's post is a bit of a photo dump from the Barkus Mardi Gras Dog parade that happened about 2-weeks ago.
