North St Louis

One of the two women running for Mayor of St Louis City (she's going to lose) is talking about going after NSTL landlords over lead paint.
Lead paint a city wide issue.
As a landloard here in south city I must provide tenants with lead paint disclosures.
She is clueless about poverty. Clueless.

We grow old

It was a tense week here at the manse.
I had taken Bellie to the Vet at the Humane Society on Macklind for her annual checkup. I felt that something was amiss with her skin and askd the Vet to check which she did. She said all was OK.
I didn't feel secure with that though, and the next day I had Bellie shaved at the groomer.
I noticed an odd, penny size, hairless growth on her thigh.
We went back to the Vet.
She had a mast cell tumor. The very next day she had surgery to remove it.
It was a cancerous mast cell tumor, low grade.
The surgeon called yesterday to tell me that she's missed some of the cells.
I don't get it. If you knew they were there how were they missed?
