Summer WalksCategory: buffalo
Some of the trees on the parkways look ridiculous and naked, but I am glad they seem to all be making a go of it.
This old farmhouse at 700 Delavan (built in 1830 according to City Hall's website) looks so out of place with the city houses all around it now.
And this one burned down, recently I suppose? It's at 660 Delavan.

yes, when we had that storm last October the biggest thing that bothered me was how the trees would look come spring. They do look naked. Some of the most beautiful naturist places around buffalo are (or were) that way because of our big fluffy trees. Especially walking around places like Delaware park, It is still beautiful, but you can feel the sense that something is missing.

Roswell LunchesCategory: work
I love having lunch at Roswell. Today I had stir fry veggies and chicken. It is hard to think about packing a lunch and bring it in, but I should start doing that to save money.

St Joseph's New RC CathedralCategory: buffalo
Today at lunch I was talking to (e:Paul) and (e:enknot) about the Cathedral at Utica and Delaware in Buffalo (some more links), construction of which started in 1912. Its two massive bell towers held the largest carillon of church bells in the country, but they were only rung once and had to be removed because they endangered the structural integrity of the towers once rung. "The largest bell was 4,000 lbs., the smallest twenty-five. The whole cost $25,000 ($435,000 in 1997 dollars). It was the largest carillon in America at the time."

The twin steeple towers had to be removed 10 years later in the 1920's due to other structural defects, and by 1975 the entire Cathedral had to be torn down because of defects in construction, and the marble facing peeling away from the brick central walls.

Mugging(E:James) does his zombie face when I try to take his photo.
paul - 07/08/07 20:31
(e:terry) does the same thing. Most of the time when I try and take a picture of him, he pretends to be retarded. I know that is totally unPC but it is what he does. Same with when I ask him to say kuru-kuru-kurin in japanese. It used to be my favorite game and I love the way they say it in the intro but instead of saying it cute, he says it with this horrible slur everytime I have asked him over the last 8 years.

This Picture is misleading, it looks like paul is using his phone and looks up before she can surprise him with flowers. But that is one thing that is cool about pictures like this is that everyone interperts them differently.
Did you see Paul's journal? I took a photo of him taking a photo of her...
