Drove about 115 miles. Saw the Missouri State Penitentiary and thought, that sound fun. The only tour available yesterday was a night 'ghost' tour. OK. $25 dollars later, I was trying to figure out how to kill time til 8pm in the 104 degree day. I shopped in an antique flea market for three hours (both cats in one box by the front door); I bought more birds. We sat in McDonalds for two hours. I bought a bunch of ice at Walmart, thinking it would cool down the ambiant temp in the trailer. No.
At 8pm, the trailer was still 101, and the cats were hot. I shoved each between two ice buckets and left. Torah rested his chin in the ice bowl and licked the melting water.
The ghost tour was fine. The penitentiary was more intetesting. I guess as a dedicated sceptic, I expected more spookiness in the story telling to get people working up enough to see things. Instead, the stories were focused on who saw what on some other tour and how that must have been because a guy in that cell was stabbed in the eye. I was more interested in the dead guy and why his fellows stabbed him than some woman feeling ill because she sensed his presence.
The last stop was the gas chamber. 40 people had been put to death there. Wanna sit in the chair for a picture? No I do not. The percentage of people who sat there, then suddenly died is to high for me to tease statistics.
