    Park your Lear on the left airstrip this time. Mrs Samurai was late for happy hour last time you blocked her G5 in the hangar. I am still hearing about it.

    If you're on the fence about this meet up - this video should convince you it's worth the trip. St. Louis style ribs - sorry KC fans, nothing beats these.

    Edit for more info - Technically it's Memphis Style BBQ, but with the bigger ribs. Don't want to mislead. Also, if we have 20 or more (up to 64) we can reserve a dining room there if we want. They also cater so we have a couple of choices if that's something everyone agrees on.

    Yes there is, and a city Sheriff. The Police Department has only been under City control for a couple of years. They were under State authority for over 10o years. So it hasn't been the best of times as they have transitioned. They had over 200 murders within the City last year which was the highest in over a decade. Mostly one or two neighborhoods, but it makes it sound like the entire metro area is a running gun fight. It really isn't. North City is worst, North County second, South City has a few trouble spots. They just appointed a new Police Chief in the City so here's hoping for some improvement.

    For those who are wondering about all of these cop shops - the City is not part of the County. So you have duplication of everything. And, in the County there are myriad cities and towns with their own forces and services. St. Louis County Police provides local service for some while others have their own. Oh, and there's another police cooperative in North County that covers several inner ring suburbs. Yeah, it's complicated. You can literally get about a dozen tickets from different departments driving down I-70 or on I-170. They sometimes line up on the interstates and run coordinated radar traps. It's insane.

    I probably have a half a pack of cigarettes and a full tank of gas. Hit it.

    I also really like Charlie's idea of everyone bring a gift that can be carried in one hand. We should randomize and distribute. Would be fun.

    I think BST should be allowed, but neither encouraged nor discouraged. This is a social event and not a swap meet.

    I will also add that I will probably drive up. Only about 10 hours. Anyone I like that is on the way may ride along. I drive a 2001 Expedition that smells like cigar and pipe. If I do not like you your welcome to ride tied to the luggage rack or duct taped to the hood.

    If you had an old cop Crown Victoria, we'd be meeting in OKC, and then driving really fast..... Fun cars.

    Same with me. I've an SUV with an empty right seat leaving Denver taking I70 east. No smoking on board, leisurely drive style, short stop every ninety minutes.
