My weekly grocery shopping bill is at an all-time high. Wilbur and Orville on ice. Taken from inside the car with the heater running. Seasons come and go, but he stays right here. How I feel about winter.

Plenty of tables available on the sidewalk cafe. Macintosh is a foreign landscape to me. Normally you`re not allowed to take pictures in a theatre, but who wants to be normal? Jared Mola portrayed 27 different characters in the play `Varian` written by Michael London. Playwright Michael London, actor Jared Mola and director Annie Pesch at a reading of `Varian.`

Today I interviewed three ballerinas and learned a lot. I`ve been taking a lot of black and white pictures lately. Impervious to cold. Has anyone seen my car? I had more snow photos, or this shot of an empty studio.  I think we`re all tired of snow, so this picture is better.

She`s back, for an unprecedented third photo shoot in six weeks (see December 28, 2025, and January 5, 2026). On a weekday morning, we had the DAI to ourselves, so nobody wondered about the girl sitting on the floor. I deliberately tried to recreate a previous photo taken at the Dayton Art Institute (see April 2, 2010). Zella is an actress, model and influencer and can always use more pictures. Youth and cuteness.

People who sit at courtside get pictures like this.  They also get hit by the ball sometimes. The home team was on fire. Halftime! Breezie Williams scored a career-high 28 points and was 5 for 5 from three-point range. There was a lot to cheer about at the Nutter Center.

If these weren`t here, then I wouldn`t eat them, but they were so I did. My footwear for the past couple of weeks. Some people may be proud of all their credit cards, but for me it`s library cards. Today I was informed about a data breach that occurred in 2024.  The letter described itself as `time sensitive.` Today was a struggle, but raspberry tea and pizza help.

An illustration from `Snedronningen,` a fairy tale about permanent winter by Hans Christian Andersen. Yes it does, but not enough. Potato chips, how my mouth just drips.  Crunch, crunch, I don Porch furniture is useful for only part of the year. Snowplows don`t stop.

If there was something else to take pictures of, I would. At least some people are having fun with it. I`d rather lose both mittens rather than just one. Birds of a feather commiserate together. There were no kids on the playground.

`Neath the Schuster Center. DAYTON is still under snow (see September 9, 2025). The snow swan is a rare species. Dogs seem to like snow more than I do. They know it

Snow removal photos carried over for a third hit week! Not an encouraging sign outside a hotel. Status update (see January 29, 2026). My annual sighting of a coot (see March 5, 2025). He saw my camera and went into performance mode.
