%%- my friend asked his young son what SELFISH meant "selling fish?" good try, boy! %%- this time i could really feel it...she couldn't walk for long without taking a rest she's getting old ok, then. i'll move to St Louis and spend more time with her, and do a bit of traveling together after all, what's a son for anyway? %%- my sister-in-law thinks people in St Louis are more cultured than those in Texas, well, than Houstonians, at least. she went to college in Houston before my brother doesn't totally agree i don't blame him after all, he went to Rice, the elite and the best private university in Southern US. there's plenty of culture in Rice, or so he feels and Rice is in Houston %%- it was 100F in St Louis the day i left there for Asia via Phoenix and LA. but that same day it's only 86F in Phoenix, usually the hottest city in US
