WTF? On wheels!(e:mike) and I saw this parked on Anderson. We saw it the night before and it was much funnier when it just said WTF? When I went back to photograph it with my real camera instead of my phone someone added "Wash me!". The add on isn't quite as funny but WTF? Was exactly what Mike and I said when we saw it. This thing is like twice the size of a hummer at least. When you look at it from the front it actually looks like a 16 wheeler. I should have shot it from the front too cause this photo almost makes it look small.

Winter always turns to springIn Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism there is a letter that Nichiren wrote to one of his followers that is titled "Winter Turns to Spring". It is a letter he wrote to Myoichi, a recent widow with children in order to encourage her. It really is such a beautiful letter but the reason I share it is just because we all need that little reminder that winter without fail turns to spring.

Not to be a downer but sometimes in Buffalo there isn't a spring. Sometimes it is so short that it almost goes from winter to summer. Either that or it rains all spring.

Just so ya'll know, it is totally my fault for the bad weather this winter. I am sorry.
See, wherever i move, there is always the "hottest summer on record" that year. Because, of course, i do not like the hot weather.
How is this relevant, you ask?
Well, one of my fears of driving that has kept me from getting a license has been driving in the snow.
This is my first winter driving. So, it only stands to reason that it would be snowy. And snowy in that constant never lets up sorta way that freaks me out.
Sorry peeps.
Thanks for reminding us that spring will come, (e:Libertad). :O)

Moochas Gracias Paul
Thank you so much for fixing my mess of a computer last night. I really thought that I was going to lose almost all of my digital photo files and that would have made me so sad. I am sorry you were so allergic to my rabbit dandered computer. I didn't even think of that happening and am so happy that I at least spent the time carefully vacuuming out the inside because I can't even imagine what you would be like if I didn't. I always thought you would be able to come over to my house as long as you didn't go in the rabbit room but now I know that you really never could come over. Anyways, I am most greatful. Thanks again!

I am happy to have helped, however, I now hate rabbits as much as cats. At least you can see how alerguc I am to animals. People always think I am exaggerating when I tell them how allergic I am. Rabbits and hay are at the top of that list and so is dust. So add rabbit and hat dust and it's like my kryptonite.
My only other experience with rabbits was (e:godown) and I went to my blockbuster coworkers movie night party in the mid 90s. Since then I have managed to avoid them.

that, "thing", offends me, right to the core.
I have seen one of these before but not sure where. I call it a double door pickup truck. I think of it that way because there are two full doors. It looks like the bed has a nice cover to it, I wonder if Oakley (the sunglasses people have anything to do with it). It almost looks like it could be used to to tricks on. There are trucks made so you can add rails and stuff to them for alt. sports.
Love how it looks two storeys high with the houses in the background. WTF indeed.
Oh man!! Don't you all REALIZE???? It is THE BATMOBILE!!!
That made me throw up a little in my mouth. What asshole owns that?
seriously you cannot imagine how crazy huge it was , and just parked on Anderson like it belonged there.
