Crainville House Fire

On Sunday April 29th an exhaust fan in the bathroom of my brothers mother-in-law house caught fire in the attic of her house. Her daughter was sleeping in the house and was awoken by her two dogs barking. No injuries were reported and the the two dogs and cats were all safe.

Looking Through Old Photos

I was recently looking through some old photos and found a few that I had forgotten about. So I thought I would post a couple of them. They are from Fort Hood, Texas back in my Army days. 

My Past Work

While walking around the Butchertown area of Louisville, KY back in August 2011, myself and my friend Tim found this character. His name was Don Shears and he worked security at a local meat processing plant. He was 86 years young and a Navy WWII veteran. He was on his way to lunch and stopped to talk to us about the government, his service and his overall dissatisfaction with it all.

A Day at The Vet

I was lucky enough to spend the day at Lakeside Veterinary Clinic in Carbondale. Being around such skilled and professional people made it a lot easier. They took such great care of their patients and it was great to see a different view of what goes on at a vet clinic.

Coco, a 2 year old domestic long hair tabby, is sedated before having explorative surgery at Lakeside Veterinary Clinic. She ended up having two mammary glands removed due to infection.

St. Louis Trip With My Brother

Myself and my brother Chris went to St. Louis on Tuesday to catch the Cardinals game. We showed up early to walk around downtown St. Louis. These are a few shots that I thought summed up the trip. 

Kale Woziak, age 4, from Fenton, MO, waits for the gates to open at Left Field at Busch Stadium for the Cardinals' game against the Cincinnati Reds. His favorite players is Yadier Molina and when asked how long he has been a Cardinals fan he simply said "Since I was bigger!" Kale was there to watch the game with his mother Heather Edwards.

Tom Lange, or "The Hat Man", as he has been dubbed by Cardinals fans, shows off a hat that he had recently made celebrating the St. Louis Cardinals 11th World Series Title.
