The latest crisis in my parking garage: the floor is crumbling (see December 31, 2024). The only kind of snowflakes that I like. This sidewalk is open to pedestrians for the first time since the Reagan era (see November 14, 2024). Don`t tell him, but he`s about to be laid off. The parking garage also leaks terribly. This is Level 2 (with three more levels and a roof above).

January carolers? There comes a day in January when the robins feast on berries (see January 18, 2008; January 19, 2014; January 13, 2019). Winter is my [fourth] favorite season. I risked health and safety for this shot. This Web site is popular at the end of December when I release my Top Shots for the year, but I have no idea why there was so much activity on Christmas Day.

The wind was bitter and so was I. Sidewalk injury waiting to happen. Still shining on (see December 16, 2024). Signs like this are suddenly all over Main Street. If there was a ceremony, I missed it. A mediocre movie led me to a transcendent novel.

Kitchen sunset. Cold weather killed the dinosaurs. What is the sound of one hand freezing? While I took this, I heard Roberta Flack singing `The first time ever I saw your face.` It was much warmer when this mosaic was installed (see June 25, 2024).

We were both cold, but at least I had on more clothes. Planning ahead for springtime. I`ve had many wonderful experiences taking photos, and some really bad ones, like standing outside in the cold. NO SKATING Tannenbaums are temporary.

8:15am. The snow was deep but very dry and light. 8:30am. Cleaning the car was easy. Driving was hard. I wanted this guy to follow me home with a snowblower. Today on Facebook, somebody posted a photo of this building after a 1978 blizzard. I walked through harsh wind and deep snow in order to recreate that picture. Plenty of food in deep storage.

Outside my kitchen window, Part 1. Plowing snow into `boulevards` is a temporary solution. But the boulevard creates an obstacle for pedestrians. Maybe the city can sell the snow to a ski slope. A chain seems a bit much. A sign would`ve been enough.

Outside my kitchen window, Part 2. And on the third day . . . people are still getting stuck. The guy helped a lot by gesturing to the driver. This mountain of snow prevented me from getting into my parking garage, but I found another way. A graceful ballet in the snow on East First Street. Fill `er up, Mac!
