I’m pretty sure no one ever comes here but me, and it takes enough effort to maintain this that I wonder why I do it. I really don’t know why I bother, but it’s got to be whatever impulse made me start doing it to begin with. Between the $10 to register the domain and the time put into futzing with the software, I’ve invested quite a bit of myself into something I can’t explain. Ditto for the whole camera-phone business.

To summarize this week,… It snowed.

hey there!

And of course, Christmas started this year before Thanksgiving did.

God help me, I'm starting to like these shitty phone pics.

Yeah, it’s a winter freaking wonderland…
i'll probably have to live with this snow for weeks.

All snowy and shit

The birds were smart and left town.

Snow, as far as the eye can see.

That’s a lot of snow.

It is too late to be getting to bed, but I am. I need to be doing … Duh, what else?, work.

work, work, work

Unfortunately, the house I live in was built in 1884 and is rather drafty.

This makes my toes cold.

I find it very hard to work when my feet are frozen.

It is cold. 27 degrees at Islip MacArthur airport. It’s been getting frosty at night here and there. Not everything had succumbed as of this afternoon. The shasta daisies had endured.

What will be out there tomorrow?

a shameful indulgence

This was perhaps not the best use of money. I’ve had it two weeks though, and I am still using it.

It is autumn, and the dogs must now take care not to lose their Kongs in the leaves.

For their part, the leaves have begun to change color and fall in earnest.

Although the Yucca still blooms,

And the chrysanthemum now come into their own,

Soon the trees will be barren.

PS: Many thanks to Daniel for help with the on-the-fly thumbnailer toys.
