Kansas City (abbreviated KC or KCMO) is the largest city in Missouri by population and area. As of the 2020 census, the city had a population of 508,090 in 2020, making it the 36th most-populous city in the United States. It is the most populated municipality and historic core city of the Kansas City metropolitan area, which straddles the Kansas–Missouri state line and has a population of 2,392,035. Most of the city lies within Jackson County, with portions spilling into Clay, Cass, and Platte counties. Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a port on the Missouri River at its confluence with the Kansas River coming in from the west. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; shortly after came the establishment of the Kansas Territory. Confusion between the two ensued, and the name Kansas City was assigned to distinguish them soon after.
Sitting on Missouri's western boundary with Kansas, with Downtown near the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers, the city encompasses about 319.03 square miles (826.3 km2), making it the 23rd largest city by total area in the United States. It serves as one of the two county seats of Jackson County, along with the major suburb of Independence. Other major suburbs include the Missouri cities of Blue Springs and Lee's Summit and the Kansas cities of Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, and Kansas City, Kansas.
The city is composed of several neighborhoods, including the River Market District in the north, the 18th and Vine District in the east, and the Country Club Plaza in the south. Celebrated cultural traditions include Kansas City jazz, theater, which was the center of the Vaudevillian Orpheum circuit in the 1920s, the Chiefs and Royals sports franchises, and famous cuisine based on Kansas City-style barbecue, Kansas City strip steak, and craft breweries.

On the weekend a small group led by John went to find the 'source of the Murray River'. The Murray is Australia's most significant river but this source has special significance - it defines one end of the straight-line part of the boundary between NSW and Victoria states.
Topologically aware people will know there are a zillion 'sources' of a big river and what is THE source depends on your definition. One definition is that it is the point the furthest from the river mouth measured along the river and it's tributaries, in which case the source of the Murray is somewhere in Queensland, the upper Darling. But the source we were interested in was the one mentioned in the Act of Separation in August 1851 that defined the then colony of Victoria as separated from NSW 'on the north and northeast by a straight line drawn from Cape Howe to the nearest source of the Murray River, and thence by that river to the eastern boundary of the Colony of South Australia.'
Sounds easy enough, but the 'nearest source of the Murray' is in rugged mountainous heavily timbered terrain far from anywhere, so the surveyors who ended up having to find this mysterious source had their work cut out for them. Nobody had bothered to find the exact border until the need arose in 1866 when miners in the Delegate and Bairnsdale areas became confused as to 'who to pay their rent money to and of their postal address'.

This shows two of us examining a pointy bit of road, looking towards our destination.
This is a picture I took back in 1984 while I was living in Cusco, Peru, for one year as an exchange student. I chose not to dust the slides (oops, mistake!) so, well, they're kind of dusty!
About the title... I am referring to the tiny hole that Miguel and I are squatting in front of... the hole which we had climbed through to get inside the Chullpa at Sillustani. I often have nightmares about spaces through which I need to get but for which I am too large. Very stressful dreams! Miguel Cerro Heinzle (if you know him, send him my way!) and I had exchanged jackets, I think. I met Miguel while I was staying at a friend's house in Puno, Peru. The photographer's name escapes me just now.
Miguel and I are squatting inside what is called a Chullpa, a tomb. The (rich) person would have been actually buried while this chamber was for the dead person's favorite things, such as the gold cup he drank out of, his favorite servant, his favorite dog, etc.. The people were locked in the chamber with the purpose of serving the dead person in the afterlife.

St. Louis is an independent city and inland port in the U.S. state of Missouri. It is situated along the western bank of the Mississippi River, which marks Missouri's border with Illinois. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River just north of the city. These two rivers combined form the fourth longest river system in the world. The city had an estimated 2017 population of 308,626 and is the cultural and economic center of the St. Louis metropolitan area (home to nearly 3,000,000 people), which is the largest metropolitan area in Missouri, the second-largest in Illinois (after Chicago), and the 22nd-largest in the United States.
Before European settlement, the area was a regional center of Native American Mississippian culture. The city of St. Louis was founded in 1764 by French fur traders Pierre Laclède and Auguste Chouteau, and named after Louis IX of France. In 1764, following France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, the area was ceded to Spain and retroceded back to France in 1800. In 1803, the United States acquired the territory as part of the Louisiana Purchase. During the 19th century, St. Louis became a major port on the Mississippi River; at the time of the 1870 Census it was the fourth-largest city in the country. It separated from St. Louis County in 1877, becoming an independent city and limiting its own political boundaries. In 1904, it hosted the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and the Summer Olympics.
The economy of metropolitan St. Louis relies on service, manufacturing, trade, transportation of goods, and tourism. Its metro area is home to major corporations, including Anheuser-Busch, Express Scripts, Centene, Boeing Defense, Emerson, Energizer, Panera, Enterprise, Peabody Energy, Ameren, Post Holdings, Monsanto, Edward Jones, Go Jet, Purina and Sigma-Aldrich. Nine of the ten Fortune 500 companies based in Missouri are located within the St. Louis metropolitan area. The city has also become known for its growing medical, pharmaceutical, and research presence due to institutions such as Washington University in St. Louis and Barnes-Jewish Hospital. St. Louis has two professional sports teams: the St. Louis Cardinals of Major League Baseball and the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League. One of the city's iconic sights is the 630-foot (192 m) tall Gateway Arch in the downtown area.

We came upon this strange yellow/brown bus under the brown line tracks. It appears abandoned now but at one point in time it looks as if it was stealing power from both a power box in the alley as well as the third rail of the CTA tracks.
