Due to recent thefts of sewer lids in the city, officials have decided to again allow city residents to buy personalized sewer lids as replacements. Officials estimate that almost one hundred personalized sewer lids were purchased through the program offered several years ago, and officials anticipate a similar response this time.
Personalized sewer lids are limited to 7 letters, and are only available in one type style (as seen on mine). At this time, requests for specific locations cannot be honored, but you will receive a map showing where your lid has been installed. Allow 8 weeks for your sewer lid to be manufactured. Payment must be received at the time your order is placed.
You can order your personalized sewer lid online at: citysewerlids.

Buy A Sewer Lid.......

Another Ordinary Day
It was just another ordinary day. It was cloudy and overcast. It was chilly. The mailman came at 10:00. The grocery store was crowded. Laundry needed to be done. The library books needed to be returned, and the car needed gas.
But the daffodils bloomed in the front, across the length of the front porch. Springy yellow clusters of curly trumpets and petals.
Extraordinary!

City Agents....
No pens. No bottle openers. No mouse pads. Nothing. Nada. Just junk mail.
No birthday cards. No Christmas cards. No spare baseball tickets. No magnets. No desk calendars. No wall calendars. No wallet calendars. Just junk mail.
No potted plants. No bottles of wine. No door knockers. No wall clocks, desk clocks or kitchen clocks. No supply of return address labels. No silver letter openers. No Pottery Barn coffee cups. Just....(sigh)....junk mail.
And =that= is the reason I'm switching to a city insurance agent.

Winter Water
In St. Louis, we have January and February so that we can enjoy cozy cups of hot chocolate and hot coffee and hot tea and variations of hot toddies. We stock our cupboards with Hershey's Cocoa and stick cinnamon and Kahlua and little packets of Lemon Zinger and Honey Vanilla Chamomile.
But January and February are also the only months we can make Winter Water..... a gaspingly refreshing, achingly cold drink made by adding already cold tap water to a glass filled with ice cubes.
Quench your thirst! Drench your cells! Drink up! It's almost February!

Saturday Night Murder
Well, I was only five or six feet from him, but I thought he fell down because he tripped or something. Nope. Murdered. A doctor, I think.
Someone yelled out. People gasped and tried to get a better look at the victim. A woman giggled. Suspects were pointed out. Statements were taken. Interrogations! Accusations!! Denials!!!
Who did it? Sure, you could find out by asking one of the Lemp Mansion guests who were there Saturday night.....but it would be more fun if you just made your own reservations.
