Electricity has now been restored throughout the St. Louis area. Perhaps Mr. Thornie will thaw out and respond....

Pleasure boats here in St. Louis and down at the Lake of The Ozarks all took a terrible pounding from the ice and snow. Sank many boats, crushed others, and mangled the docks. They estimate $300 million of boat damage. Maybe Mr. Thornie is rescueing boats...

Tomorrow morning a small group of us ( including Herr Finkel) are going over into Illinois to chase whatever pheasants haven't already frozen to death.
