We got about six inches of nasty, wet, heavy snow here in the last twenty-four hours or so, and we’re supposed to get more. It’s unpleasant. It literally took me 45 minutes to drive about 100 yards on my way to work this afternoon. People are out of their minds.
On my way home, I stopped at …
I like my visual week in review posts, but I haven’t done one in a while. So now that I’ve located an SD card reader and finally transferred things over, here are all of my camera phone pictures since mid-September, instead!

Yeah, the flowers are not supposed to be that nausea-inducing shade of pink.
Check out this super-cool rainbow inside the fountain, though.
Poor picture because my camera is old and cranky, but here are the sweet little baby ducks I followed at the park today.
I stopped by a church garage sale over near SUNY on Friday evening. I didn’t buy this bun warmer, but it made me smile for some reason. I like saying “bun warmer.” I also really love the avocado coffee percolator in the background.
