I hear from friends and family that the UK is covered in snow, the weather’s miserable, and it’s cold, cold, cold. So to cheer you up I thought I’d post a photo I took just before noon today. The sculpture is Nijinski Hare by Barry Flanagan, a pretty piece of art just next to the Savvis Center in downtown St Louis. But more importantly, I’d like to draw your attention to the clear, cloudless, deep blue skies; the air is fresh, the weather is good, and there’s not a snowflake or rain drop to be seen.

Commentary
I that a new way of spelling George W's name?
What on earth are you talking about?!
Look on the building behind the hare
Busch is the surname of one of the founders of the Anheuser-Busch brewery here in St. Louis. It brews Budweiser and a million other beers. I think it appears on the arena behind the statue due to some sponsorship deal. The baseball stadium in the city is called the Busch Stadium.
