Wholesale wine by the Farmer's market
Category: food
(e:paul) and I stopped by the end of the Clinton Bailey market and got some apples, onions, beans, honey and peppers. The food market is part of the Niagara Frontier Grower's coop - it must have been such a bigger thing when more food was shipped by rail.

Across the street, we noticed a wholesale wine seller. It's crazy, you can get almost anything wholesale at the food terminals. I remember my mom used to buy 5 pound bags of cheese and restaurant quantities of flour down there.

While doing some googling I found (e:tinypliny,0498)'s post about the market. I wonder how much different the early morning wholesale market is? Maybe if we have a late night, we can go. It seems much easier to go from the 4:30 side.

Sadly I am not in Baltimore. I am in Rockville. :/ *cue REM songs now*

Baltimore has to have something similar! You should post about what's there.

I am so jealous that you get to go to the best farmer's market around! :)

Bear at work

Looks like Paul's become more of a bear than he thought.

Cleaning up the porch
Category: halloween
We finally finished cleaning up the aftermath of halloween. Our front porch looked so frat house-y. I couldn't believe how much I found in the bushes.

Mostly clean now.

I also had to put some of the pumpkins in the compost. My feelings exactly.

Allergy Pride
Category:

I saw this sticker on the back of a car on Allen - I realize people have serious allergies but it reminded me of the allergy pride parade in Portlandia.

Google Fit
Category: android
The Google Fit app came out the other day and is a million times better than the S Health app that just counts your steps. The app keeps track of all activities and times and durations, including bike rides, and also can pull data from other fitness apps.

The weird part is it records the locations of the activity but only shows you a circle containing the beginning and end points. They obviously record the exact location but don't show it. I wonder if its to keep people from being reminded they're tracking themselves 24/7.
