Starin Train Station
Category: buffalo

After the Italian fest we continued our bike ride through Parkside and the Park before heading home. The Starin Parkside neighborhood is so ridiculous and I always forget about it. Not only are the houses huge but the roads and lawns too.

One of my favorites that is not so big but so cool is the old belt line train station at Starin and Amherst. It's sunk below the street next to the tracks and has this old cobblestone driveway down to it. You can rent it on airbnb for $300 a night.

We had a pretty shitty experience at the park (ask (e:paul)) but Hoyt lake was especially bad that day. I assume it was the rain.

Everybody loves an Italian boy
Category: buffalo

(e:paul), (e:terry) and I went on a bike ride after getting our hair did. Terry wanted a cannoli so we stopped at the Italian festival for a bit. For once the stands were a little less fair and a little more Italian food.

The cannoli were so amazing. We also got an eggplant roll up and free cheese samples. Yum.

Making it rain on them ho's.

The crowd was not very Italian but is North Buffalo even Italian anymore?

Jewel of India served lasagna and pasta. I wonder if they were forced to have an Italian menu.

The city of Buffalo would like you to recycle the crap they are handing out.

You know I always thought cannolis could be 100X better with whipped cream. It's such a pity that's not whipped cream in there - it is some flour-y sugary thicker concoction. I am not sure I am big fan of that.

I love the recycle box ready, recycling information.

After getting back from camlping, (e:Paul) cut his beard, (e:terry) shaved his golden locks and I trimmed back to a small fauxhawk. Woof.

Valle de Mexico
Category: food

On Friday before Brushwood, (e:Paul), (e:Terry) and I went with Vanessa to go get lunch at Valle de Mexico on South Park.

There were so many choices but I didn't really know what most of them were. I wanted to get the soggy chips in sauce that Terry talked about, but the menu was limited since it was the greased pole festival. Instead I got the veggie burrito. The food was slow to come out but it was because they made it fresh.

The burrito was not that good although the poblano peppers in it were. I think Paul just ate his kryptonite because he was dying after.

The best part was the horchata. The waitress described it as rice pudding in a drink and that's what it tasted like.

Wow, yummmmm
I like try it

Squash, carrots, rice, stuffed peppers, black beans, cheese, tomatoes and hot sauce and sour cream in a flour tortilla.

What stops you from posting?

hahha, I have to live up to the reputation of the human-comment-bubble. I actually was a comment bubble in one of the halloween extravaganzas at the 24.

joe - 07/22/14 01:44
I really want to add new features and modernize the mobile app with Paul. Maybe even advertise more. I just don't know when there will be more time- maybe winter?

(e:tinypliny) you manage to write more than I post with your comments. I always appreciate the email storm I get when you log on.

sina - 07/20/14 16:12
Sorry my phone show posts confusedly

I forget to come here everyday need to get back into the habit of it .... Part of that is that when I'm on twitter it Feels as if one is having a conversation, then I get behind on reading posts ... I still haven't posted about iphone , Hoping to try a mobile post today if I can click on the mobile part it isn't easy but do have a sort of copy paste one coming up hence why I'm here today .....

tinypliny - 07/18/14 23:43
Bunch of reasons.
I am so exhausted in my mind and spirit that I think I have very little to say nowadays.

I thought my life was somewhat boring in Buffalo, but here it is at a standstill. Now I just take a million pictures and since all of them are automatically uploaded to G+ its super easy to hit a button, write a sentence and send it along to my family or to a small circle of friends.

I write a LOT, all of it pretty technical. On an average I start 2 Google Docs a day. On top of it I just started a github blog for notes. All this writing highlights my dreary existence even more.

I love coming and here and hearing all about the best friends whom I left behind and I always wish I had met you before I left. :-)

My phone's apps all decided that they wouldn't cooperate with estrip and/or estrip itself kept crashing (see my April post). I think the latest update that happened about two weeks ago might have fixed it but now I've gotten out of the habit. I really enjoy your and everyone's posts, and want to contribute more.
