Oh my goodness. Snow. Forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Only half-inch accumulation. A half-inch shuts down Seattle, but this is Pittsburgh, so I’ve got to go to work tomorrow. SNOW!!!
Don’t worry, I’ll bring my camera and take lots of pictures and wear a coat and hat and scarf.
SNOW!!!! (I may be a *bit* too excited [...]

Getting on the bus tonight, I heard even more conversations about Ashley Todd. Politics aside, most conversations about her are along the lines of her mental health problems, or how pathetic she is for attempting to lie to police.

On the road trip, Travel Buddy taught me a new art form – Camera Painting. Basically, take your camera, leave the shutter open, and move the camera about. If you have a point and shoot (like me), make sure it’s dark-ish, and turn off the flash.

I got the Drs. Foster and Smith catalog today. As if they knew what this catalog was, they both fought over laying on it, so I guess I have to figure out what to get the kitties for xmas.
They are nip addicts, so some nip is definitely on the list. Last year, they got the [...]
