Hikers in Missouri Stunned When Stealth Flies Over Their Trail
The truth is I think I was more stunned than they were. Some hikers making their way across Missouri captured video of a stealth bomber that flew directly over their trail. As I shared a couple days ago, two hikers are crossing America and they happen to be in the middle of Missouri right now. They are featured on the First Church of The Masochist Hikes YouTube channel. Just over 5 minutes into their most recent video share of their travels across Missouri, you'll see a very familiar aircraft to Missourians fly overhead.

Rob Connoley's 13 favorite St. Louis restaurants
The James Beard Award nominee closed Bulrush in June 2024 due to 'election-year hate politics'. Rob Connoley wasn’t always a chef. He has a doctorate in sports psychology, and spent some years working for nonprofits, which included three years at a meth treatment facility in New Mexico. However, over a five-year run as chef-owner at Bulrush, Connoley amply demonstrated his gifts in the kitchen, notching up successive James Beard Award semifinalist nominations in the Best Chef: Midwest category in 2022 and 2023. This year, he went a step further, receiving a finalist nomination in the same category. However, Connoley is now at a crossroads. In June, he announced his decision to close Bulrush, citing growing unease over what he described as “election-year hate politics” targeting LGBTQIA+ communities in Missouri. Connoley hasn’t announced what his next move will be – he said nonprofit work may be a part of his future – but the closure of one of St. Louis’ very best restaurants has sent shockwaves through the industry. Connoley is a champion of a broad range of cuisines, and we spoke to him recently about some of his own favorites. “I have developed my entire culinary career around the quote from Jiro Dreams of Sushi, where Jiro says, ‘To make great food you need to eat great food,’” Connoley said. These are the places he says feed him great food in St. Louis.

One more player we would like to see the St. Louis Blues sign for 2024-25
NHL free agency always quiets down after Hour 1 on Day 1, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still someone out there who could help the St. Louis Blues fare better than expected in 2024-25. Talking someone like Joe Pavelski out of retirement would be the ideal scenario here, but he would likely only start skating again if a contender reached out to him.
