Those are the almonds that inspired me.

For comparison, here is some dork and his gorgeous dog standing next to same Rhodo in 2004:

I was just thinking today about how much I love/d Laura Ingalls Wilder's books (talk about problematic in hindsight), and now you have me trying to remember what Tom Robbins-era me dove into. Asimov?

Car bumper sticker "The Internet Was A Mistake" and a second sticker "Doing My Best."

There's a strong case to be made.

I was taught by a department store bra fitter when I was a teenager to hook at the front and twist back. She said it would fit better that way. I've done it that way ever since.

New York Lt Gov Delgado speaks into a mic in front of a person holding up a No Cuts to Medicaid poster.

Yesterday Delgado talked about the need for love and systemic change and made us feel like our tiny Binghamton rally mattered and I hope he's planning to primary someone soon because I would stay a registered D to vote for him.

A rally outside Binghamton high school with people holding signs saying Save Our Schools and Congress: Protect the Department of Education.

I don't know if it made a difference, but it did make me feel a bit better to spend 45 minutes outside the high school this afternoon rallying with a bunch of other people about the importance of the Department of Education .

Several feet of uncleared icy sidewalk between two long cleared stretches.

I spend much of my winter walking around yelling at people in my head about this sort of BS. One of my favorites was these neighbors who clearly don't get along too well. Not nearly as impassable as your example, the pettiness of it almost made me laugh.

Maybe a hundred people crowd around a speaker at a snow and ice covered park.

A peace-dove puppet made from papier-mache and a sheet blows in the wind over some protesters.

Not My President's Day in Binghamton was a hundred people, give or take, braving brutal wind chills and icy streets at Kennedy Park.

Vase with flowers on park picnic table in snow

This might just become my "things I saw on my walk today" account.
