Is the Vernal equinox within a week?
Yup.
Then it's time for "expect a dusting" to turn into "fuck I gotta shovel again".

Early March and Quiet Truths

They don't care where the oil goes. They care where the profits go and would rather that be Exxon Mobile

I went to see the Rocky Horror stage show for the first time at a nice theater in Irwin, PA. And I found a cool and got to soak in a hot tub looking at pretty fall foliage.
Overall a nice Halloween spent out with friends.

Early morning, while waiting for the bus; I caught the conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and the crescent Moon.

Oh.... Pittsburgh....
Never change....

2 more reasons I feel blessed to live where I do. I stopped to record sound-scapes on my walk to the city center. Maybe ¾ of a mile as the crow flies? & Here's the symphony birds, cicada, crickets. & yeah. air conditioners running everywhere. That's a lot of wild sounds in a city. I love it.

I didn't know this! I love that

Well, that's certainly a mood

Even though this is sunrise, it looks like a molten ball slowly sinking into a lake. The sun can really look beautiful on my morning walks

Just saying good morning to the neighbors, on my walk to work.

A view of the counter for the restaurant Arepittas from the seating area.

Arepittas a great small restaurant in Pittsburgh. Everything here is delicious. It's Venezuelan food & you have my sympathy if you've never had pabellon or arepa. immigrants are so important to the USA & to Pittsburgh. It keeps the pulse fresh & the tongue dancing.

I'm in love!

On the left, a wide bowl of deep, orangey-red tomato Bisque, with a drizzle of deep red Sriracha scattered across it, beside a plate with a whole grain bread sandwich with grilled mushrooms incorporated into the grilled cheese.

Tomato bisque and a bespoke grilled cheese sandwich. Comfort food for dinner, with a little drizzle of Sriracha for a bit of a kick.

I see Yinz taking your Light Up Night rill seriously 'n'at

First snow flurries of the season clinging to the grass and some plants in a garden with small, slender Christmas tree and a round sign like an ornament saying "Merry Christmas".

I know... It's not Thanksgiving yet... But on my walk home, it was the first snow of the season and it was sticking to the plants and grass and I came upon this scene.
