Lucy's EthiopianCategory: food
After the hike, we went to Lucy's for Ethiopian. The food was too spicy for me, but I didn't cry like last night. The food wasn't as good at Garturs but the service was slightly better.
Afterwards we stopped at the coop for a peanut butter treat. (e:Paul) noticed a scallop that was orange? why?

(e:sina) They're scallops, one is just a weird color we hadn't seen before.
(e:uncutsaniflush) That makes sense. :::link:::

If memory serves, "orange" scallops are female Cooking should get rid of the color.

Hike at the GorgeCategory: hiking
We went up today to wandern up at the gorge. It was a perfect temperature, so good to be outside more now.
The water and rapids were crazy high today. Most of the low rocks were submurged. (e:terry) and I went spelunking in holes and almost a sewer overflow.

Alley Cat BarCategory: going out
Yesterday, to celebrate tax day, (e:terry), (e:heidi), (e:dianne) and I went out to Alley Cat bar. This is the bar next to Allentown pizza that's been coming soon for nearly(over?) two years now.
Unfortunately I forgot my phone, so I had no pictures. It was done really well inside. The music was kind of dad rock type of stuff but that may have been the bartender's choice. They're food mostly comes from Allentown pizza if you're into that.
The bar was dead besides the bartender and his daughter( it was a Tuesday night). He was super talkative and friendly - he kept feeding us pretzels and popcorn.
But at the end of the night he barely charged us anything for the 7 total beers. I think he officially charged us $16 for something that should have been at least $28. We left more than the difference in cash but it still seems crazy to make a mistake that big.

Sunday walk and KaydaraCategory: buffalo
On Sunday, (e:mike) came over, and led us on a tour of his usual walks downtown. We got a tour of the most deserted places.
It made me think that as much as I love Buffalo, if you were someone from out of town and had to stay downtown, it's really freaking depressing, especially before the summer. It'd be just as easy to think that's all there is to Buffalo as if you stayed out on Transit Road.
Historic Tim Horton's cups in a building on Franklin
This, along with the 99 Bills tickets billboard makes Buffalo look like a ghost town. He played for us in the mid 90's. Does that make this sign historic now?
Afterwards we went to Kaydara for lunch. (e:paul) got the shrimp bowl, while (e:terry) and I split a bunch of veggie tofu options. They were really tasty, especially the creme brulee dessert. The waiter was actually a kid who grew up on my street. The manager was super nice but a bit crazy. She made Terry a really good coffee and even gave us extra to split.
Then we finished up dumpstering at home. We got the disgusting green room rug out the window and a bunch of rotten logs from the yard. Here's Paul with his conquest.

haha, I am so jealous (e:Mike) never took me on one of his patented walks! :)
I came to Buffalo to interview for the first time in the middle of the winter. It was raining and miserable. I looked at downtown and thought - wow this is so much prettier than Rochester's downtown. :P

Nope, nothing! They're slowly fading, or at least it looks like it to me. So hopefully it was just some weird allergy - maybe from cleaning out the moldy garage?
Any fever to go along with them? Nausea? Headache? Loss in hunger?
If the answer to all the above is no, most likely they are superficial allergic reactions to something new (or maybe be even a blast from a past re-exposure) in your environment. If the answer to even one of the above is true, then I need to know more. :-)
I first saw them about 5 days ago. The day I noticed them I felt a little itchy and hivey but it went away quickly and these spots were never itchy themselves. They're the same temperature.
They actually seem to be fading compared to this picture, so maybe it was flukey?
When did you first see them? Are they itchy? When you place the back of your hand on them do they feel warmer or cooler or the same temp as the rest of skin around the place?
