  1. We're slow at work this morning so I'm reading up on late summer and fall forage sources for honeybee and native pollinators on the Missouri Conservation site. I never realized Missouri has 23 different types of goldenrod and 24 types of New World asters. I've learned a lot about our native plants and trees the last few years. In spring I rubberneck the blooming trees (black locust/tulip poplar) so hard Melissa offers to drive. 🤦🏼‍♂️

  2. It's almost 8:30pm here and it's still 88°F with a feels like temperature of 100°F with the humidity. That might be the worst part of these heat domes in our area IMO. No relief at any point of the day from the relentless humidity is so draining, at least for me it is. 🥵

    The Nine PBS here appears to be #StLouis channel 9, KETC. They were a pioneer in public broadcasting. Loss of this archive could be significant for the history of public broadcasting in the United States, depending on what's in it.

  4. Went to see the Roman Art in the Time of Trajan exhibit at the fabulous St Louis Art Museum but came away just as impressed by the monumental Anselm Kiefer installation in the entry hall. Magnificent!

    "The Nazi summer camp behind 'Camp Siegfried' had a St. Louis counterpart

    Most Americans know Nazi Germany had youth camps.

    Far fewer realize America had them, too.

    On Aug. 20, the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum will present a staged reading of 'Camp Siegfried,' a play inspired by a real summer camp on Long Island operated by the German American Bund, a pro-Nazi organization that sought to spread Hitler’s ideology in the United States before World War II.

    For St. Louis audiences, the story hits especially close to home.

    The Museum’s current exhibition, 'Nazis Next Door: St. Louis Faces Nazism in the 1930s,' explores how the Bund also established a camp along the Meramec River. That makes 'Camp Siegfried' more than a story about another place and another time.

    A real American summer camp

    The title sounds fictional.

    It isn’t.

    Camp Siegfried operated in Yaphank, N.Y., where American teenagers swam, hiked, danced and played sports. Beneath those familiar summer camp activities, however, organizers promoted Nazi ideology and loyalty to Adolf Hitler.

    Playwright Bess Wohl uses that setting to tell the story of two teenagers searching for identity and belonging. Rather than focusing on the battlefields of World War II, the play examines how extremist ideas can quietly take root through friendship, community and the desire to fit in."

  6. Meh, today's been interesting. As usual I woke up around 0230 to use the bathroom, and checked Amazon Flex to see if'n anything good was on the board, especially as I won't be working the next few days, maybe the rest of the week.

    3½ hours for $112? Sure, we can do that…
    Oh yeah, that went well, pick up in St Peters, MO, 31 packages, 31 stops, most deliveries are in eastern Wentzville, but the last 8 or so are spread from Foristell to Jonesburg¡¡ Jonesburg is 25 miles away from Wentzville. Yeah, that ran long obviously, just for the route, plus I had a random extra package that was easier to deliver than take back, so I got it added and did that, and now I have to see if'n they'll bump my pay up, I've put in a request, but…
    And after that, we grabbed breakfast from Sunrise Ranch, great food over there, highly recommended if'n you're out in the Wentzville area, then went and picked up a delivery from Walmart on the way to my chiropractor…
    Annnnd, that went pear shaped, I picked up a 65 inch TV, with a Chevy Bolt. Yeah, had to move the seats forward until my stomach was nearly touching the steering wheel, maybe that wasn't such a good idea.

    Chiro, coffee from Bread Co, and then home. Reading and a nap, and now here. Holos.social seems to be behaving today, none of the problems I had yesterday, so that's good. I will give it points for one thing it does better than Wafrn (•pokes• @gabboman ), Diaspora boosts display properly there, unlike this place. I am curious about where my account lives there, it was always said that it lives on your device, the relay just works to keep you connected to the Fediverse, I guess reminiscent of early mobile web browsers, but right now I'm only running it on my desktop, so where's my data?

    Tomorrow, car goes to a different dealer, hopefully this one knows how to repair cars, if'n you live in the STL area, stay far, far away from Lou Fusz Chevy, they shouldn't be allowed to look at tools, let alone use them. I will type up a list of what I need this time to help, gotta look up the TSB's that are involved. I was going to bicycle home, stopping at a new diner on the way, but I've done breakfast out two days in a row, so definitely passing on breakfast, and based on the forecast, prolly going to spend on an Uber instead of bicycling the 11 miles.
