I still have a Twitter account. I don’t use it for anything, I nuked my Tweets a while ago. I tried using it to colorize some old baseball photos, and that worked out well. I don’t want to give up my handle there, so I scroll through my feed to see if there’s anything ofContinue reading “As Seen on Twitter”

Feels Like Spring
You can tell it’s been hellishly cold when the temperature rises almost to freezing and it feels like spring. I wore shorts to the bank and the grocery store. Still a lot of snow on the ground. That can’t be helped. Spring will be here soon. Hopefully. Unless the Frost Giants return for more. IContinue reading “Feels Like Spring”
Mountains of Ice
It is almost impossible to convey the size of this mound of piled snow at a local shopping center. It’s two thirds of the distance between Barnes & Noble and Five Below (which was behind me), and it covers the parking spaces that run along the parking lot divider/sidewalk that run between them. And, inContinue reading “Mountains of Ice”
Mammoths Stalking a Frozen Land
I drove out Mt. Pisgah Road to see the glacier laying over the east coast. It was cold and bleak. I saw no tracks of woolly mammoths, but I feel they must have been around somewhere. The windmills on Turkey Hill were lost in the mist. Another inch of snow is due to fall tonight.Continue reading “Mammoths Stalking a Frozen Land”
Not Doing My Best
I would be doing better if I had cookies. Which I do not. So I am only doing. Not doing better. Not doing best. Just doing. Yes, the store has more. I can go to the store. I can satisfy my need for cookies. I can do the best that I can. Cookies are needed.
Where Is He Going? What Is He Doing?
Yesterday, Facebook served me an ad for a trip through Ireland and Scotland. A 10 day cruise! Visits to Dublin! Glasgow! Edinburgh! The Isle of Skye! Wait. What the frell is going on with that map?!? Let’s get this out of the way. It’s pure AI slop. Done. Dublin is in about the right place.Continue reading “Where Is He Going? What Is He Doing?”
Somehow the Frost Giants Survived
Legend tells that in ancient times the mighty Odin slew the Frost Giants and brought to an end an unceasing age of cold and darkness. Somehow the Frost Giants survived. I don’t know how much snow and ice fell yesterday, though I’ve seen that the official total for Red Lion (ie., a town next doorContinue reading “Somehow the Frost Giants Survived”
Snow (Sun)Day!
It’s been a while since Pennsyltucky has had a massive snowfall event. Like, about ten years. Well, Mother Nature is socking it to us today! The long-range forecast has called for a major snow event this weekend for about a week now, and the snow totals have ranged from about 12 inches to about 30Continue reading “Snow (Sun)Day!”
A Tough Day
I am not okay today. My dad is in the hospital. I’m in Lynchburg to visit for a few days, before the large storm hits. The slim sliver of the moon at sunset brought to mind the same a month ago, when I drove down to Lynchburg to take my dad to a doctor’s appointment.Continue reading “A Tough Day”
A World Gone Pink
I looked up from my computer in the living room yesterday and looked out the window. Through the curtains, things looked a bit weird. I opened the door. It was close to sunset. It was snowing lightly. And the world had gone pink. My phone was close at hand, but my shoes were not. ByContinue reading “A World Gone Pink”
