Sunday was Earth Day, specially celebrated in Forest Park. On my way there I saw a bird nested at the bottom of a tree - probably blown down from the night's storm.

In Forest Park I listened to the Funky Butt Brass Band - best jazz band in St. Louis. People were gathered around the front of the stage dancing in the hay, and whollopping each other with arm fulls of it. We had dinner there too - Empanadas de Carne for me from the Argentinean booth. It was a blast and now I'm pretty sore.
