Ride to the outer harbor
Category: bikes

Saturday I made (e:paul) and (e:terry) go on a bike ride. It was a perfect day for it. The only bad part was somehow I got a blister on my eye (bug maybe?).

Foto machen!

Someone ripped the flyers off this piece of wood to look like the great lakes

The little industry that's left - wonder what they're unloading

Times beach - I really hope there was an actual water bowl here at some point and they don't want the dogs to drink the gutter watter

Spinny sculptures

Sunsets on the lake - it keeps going down earlier :(

Climbing the boat hatch

(e:terry) joined me

So where is the picture? Of the blister? May I remind you that with every scenic post, magnified posts of grotesque things are almost mandatory here? Get with the program.

30 for 30 and curtain up
Category: art

Friday we headed down to Brian's 30 for 30 event for Squeaky Wheel. He video dj'ed for 30 hours, a world record (hopefully) in honor of Squeaky Wheel's 30th anniversary. (e:terry) volunteered - (e:paul) and I had to be there also from 12-4am.

Stinky the wino came too

Outside Curtain up was happening. I always thought it was an old people thing your parents did, but it actually seemed like an awesome street party. They had kettle corn, performers, a weird puppet show - I haven't seen that many people on Main Street since before the square moved.

The squeaky wheel event was at Cowork Buffalo on Main. They had these cute little bead buffaloes everywhere.

Terry and I went back for the end the next night. Brian made it without sleep. The videos he were playing got kind of creepy at the end (people on fire, screaming, mental patients etc).

Buffalo sunsets
Category: nature

Sunsets in the fall are absolutely crazy. I wish my camera could do them justice.

I've heard before coal pollution from rust belt powerplants makes our sunrises and sets so pink. I wonder if that's true .

Nice photos. Lake Erie sunrises are pretty awesome too. Always makes me think of the lyrics Chrissie Hynde wrote for the Pretenders' song, Day After Day, "Way up in the sky. Over the city and lake erie..."

Life alert
Category: paul

Paul gets ads in the mail for a type of life alert. I think that's a few decades off at least, but I don't think he'd even consider it unless it was on his Android wear watch. OK Google, I've fallen and I can't get up!

Creepy bathroom
Category: work

For a while in our building at work the creepy shower in the men's bathroom was boarded up, and had a huge hole punched in the wall. Now its taped off and you can't use it because of asbestos. Should it have been closed off this whole time? How ironic would it be getting mesothelioma at a cancer hospital.
