gmap of approximately where the plane flew

Nineteen Buffalo Queer Women went to Spicy Thai last night. I had an excellent basil eggplant, Thai spicy. Nice place and they were very gracious about having 75 percent of their seating taken up. I didn't get the impression that Thursday nights are hoppin'.


Nisha is visiting and loves all the attention at Taza. Fausto & Paula let her sit on their laps.





My truck broke down on Edward between Franklin & Delaware on Wednesday. The Midas on Niagara Street came and towed me and then the mechanics huddled around like it was the coolest new mystery. Ignition coil failed.

A took this picture yesterday of a spot on near the headwaters of the Tioga by County Bridge.



Approximately where the lat-long marker is:

It's DCNR land so it's unlikely that the sluice will be replaced. The other end of the path also has sluices washed out. We get back there with A's 4wd F150 but it's rough.

I have a neat video of a road and its sluice pipe being washed way in Broome County, NY, but it looks like it's in icky FB format and I can't share outside. My favorite amusement park, Knoebel's Grove in Elysburg, PA, has been hit pretty hard but they've always bounced back from flooding. You can see their pix here

Carcassonne with the piggies & hydrants expansion; Ecoey; the wine that Uncle Dudley keeps in her fridge is not nearly the quality of wine I've been drinking lately, including some excellent homemade zinfandel and muscata (maybe).



A couple shots from Friday night's gallery walk by Erin & Aurora - I love that flamingo. @heidi #54913

Photobooth pix from the wedding @heidi #54937 A & me, A's dad & me.

Some shots I took during allentown first friday and a pic a cute woman sent me ;-)

Hmmmm... Not what we were expecting.

Here's my grandmother's senior picture. She graduated from Morris Run High School in 1939. I have her class ring.

I'm in Mount Joy, Pa., tonight with my friend Hannah. We're going to Bethany Beach, Del., tomorrow. I took a shot of her while she was decrying the evils of grass (the stuff in your yard, not weed)
, "I hate grass!" while we were enjoying some pints at an historic brewery down the street next to a floor mill, Bube's Brewery, but I seem to have accidentally deleted it and can't find the phone's equivalent of windoze's recycle bin. So puppy cuteness, strange church sign, gardens, nice downtown planter and flamingos wil have to suffice. A friend put purple hair gel in Nisha's top knot.
