There were vendors hawking all sorts of odd things at the Collinsville Catsup Festival last weekend, not the least of which were for sale at this tent. The first and middle pictures are the front and back of a tee shirt. The image is Rosie the Riveter, made famous on a World War II poster. However, Rosie's face has been switched for that of Sarah Palin (the horror! the horror!). The date is our next congressional election. The back of the shirt is, well... But I can't figure out how the law, which is made by the government, is above everyone and you will be punished for breaking it, except when you and your spouse don't agree with it, and you don't have to answer to the government anyway. And damn right that the government can't force anyone to be charitable. If it could, no one would wear this shirt.

For the second year in a row, the Grand Center Arts and Entertainment District sponsored Dancing In the Street to kick off the fall season. During the day-long event, the area's main street and several side streets are blocked off. Stages are erected for non-stop dance and music performances. The top act was Neighbourhood Watch Stilts International from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. I missed the performance but this odd bird is part of their bit of agitprop street theater, Les Oiseaux de Lux. Young ladies of St. Louis no longer dare walk about in broad daylight.
WHAT'S ON FOR SUNDAY: Not a day of rest! I do some volunteer photography for community organizations. Today I'm shooting the annual Blessing Of the Animals at Christ Church Cathedral, the Episcopal cathedral of our city. And I want to get some pictures at our Soulard neighborhood's Oktoberfest. Then dinner with the family to celebrate my son-in-law's birthday. Then a performance of musical political satire by the uproarious Captol Steps. Check their web site for some audio clips. Can't wait to see what they do to Palin. Speaking of which: 
TOMORROW: It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas..
