missouri transportation museum

after i got my rental car this morning, i got some breakfast at a 7-11 and then went to the missouri transportation museum. plenty of cars and trains on display there. i got a smashed penny souvenir as well, and more of that ted drewes frozen custard. except it was cheaper than at the airport, no surprise there. less than half the price. i did a free ride on a trolley there. i wanted to get a good look around as i wasn't sure when i would be there again. it meant going to this place only, the other one was the museum campus at jefferson barracks but that will have to wait for another visit. i had some chick-fil-a at a suburban mall, and got pictures at a photo booth, after the museum.
    then it was time to get to the baseball game. cardinals lost to the pirates 7-3, never led in this one. i got the bob gibson bobblehead giveaway item. i didn't buy anything in the souvenir shop, already have plenty and wanted to avoid redundancy. i got food at the stadium though, hot dog and chips and bottled water. it was more fun to watch friday's game with my old friend, that i will admit. i knew i would make a comparison between these two games.
   after i took the light rail and made it back to my hotel, i got into the rental car again and found a bar to perform karaoke at. it was fairly close to the hotel, less than two miles. i did 'time after time' by cyndi lauper, as it is in the movie 'up in the air'. one patron said he liked my performance, and was fine with seeing more, but i one song was enough for me. i wanted to perform somewhere as i love performing. it is fine with me being a mysterious out-of towner. i didn't stay for long after my song was done. notable to me with other karaoke performers was a woman doing a song where part of the lyrics are 'fix your makeup, it's just a breakup'. i am often looking up songs after doing karaoke, as it helps with discovering more music. \
