What's your snowfall measurement?

FYI Beechwood Blvd doesn't run under the Greenfield Bridge. It does run under a bridge that carries Murray Ave, and that is probably what the caller means.

For more delightful work from Scalzi and Wheaton, "When the Moon Hits Your Eye" is a joy.

Thanks for the reminder about Hoopla!

Just walked into a used bookstore in Pittsburgh and was handed a free beer to enjoy while browsing. Hell yeah.

A five-gallon Gatorade bucket filled with fries for dumping on the winning coach wouldn’t even equate to a small order.

Moonset this morning from my backyard

The Greenfield Giant Eagle is giving it to anyone who comes in and asks. At least they were about a month ago when I got it before traveling to see my elderly parents. They said the only question was whether one's insurance would cover it. FWIW, I am 57.

Truly, everyone. Be tender with one another.

I 100% talked to my doctor about antianxiety meds, since my job being on the news all the time was making it even harder to get a decent night's sleep.

Hey Janet, I bought a watermelon today that is definitely more than we can use. Would you like me to drop off some tomorrow morning?

In Cold Blood at the revival theater on campus for a first date. His choice. There was no second date.

I've read that adding cuss words to your search helps filter out AI results. So, like "bugs with blue wings and shit" Your results may vary.

I just finished the audiobook on my drive home from work today. Hilarious, comforting *and* moving. You reading anything, but especially a John Scalzi book, is a welcome respite. What a gift your art is to the world.

Book recommendations from other people who like John Scalzi? This is the highest and best use of social media for the day.

Happy birthday! And thank you for When The Moon Hits Your Eye. It is bringing much needed levity to this beleaguered immigration attorney.

Just so you know, Zed has worked out that if the Purge happens in Philadelphia next year, they're heading to your place.

And treat yourself to lobster thermidor and pomme frites, the meal she brings from the 21 Club.

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR TO ICE.

I can't keep my eyes off of her in this and Killing Eve.

Thanks so much for the timely review! I am in need of a new audiobook.

I heard there was a secret ooze
It turned four turtles into dudes
But you don't really care for pizza, do ya?

They fought like this,
Two swords, a stick
A couple sai
Some nunchuck tricks
Those Ninja boys-a callin

I feel my shoulders hunched up in tension throughout each episode. But every time the episode ends, I have a little surprise that it is over already.

My only complaint about The Pitt episode is the failure to take a golden opportunity for Dana to say 'yinz'. YOUSE? Do better, writers.

Greenfield Family Pride Night, 6/24, 6-8, Magee Rec Center.

Corey O'Connor NARROWLY bests Ed Gainey in Allegheny County Democratic Committee endorsement -- 274 to 270.

The library really is for everyone.

And the library had Red Cards on the counter. These are Know Your Rights cards for immigrants if they have an encounter with ICE.

While we were filling out the forms to get their cards, a LEGO activity started and their school-age children participated.

I had to explain more than once that there is no cost to access library services.
