I know it’s a day early, and that not everyone in the world celebrates Christmas, but I thought I’d send out well wishes to all my fellow bloggers, bikers, cooks, and other misfit souls on this material plane in which we currently find ourselves. Merry Christmas and with hopes for a healthy and prosperous NewContinue reading “Merry Christmas!”

What Tips Do You Have (I’d like to know)
A couple things. Firstly, no that is not a current picture; it’s one I took last winter. Though I live in a snowy area of the world it has not snowed yet (and hopefully won’t for at least a month or two). The other thing is this. I am currently writing a short article whichContinue reading “What Tips Do You Have (I’d like to know)”
Impression of Spring
Though this may vaguely resemble an impressionistic painting it’s not…just a blurry photo off my front porch earlier this evening. Yes, it may be closer to May than it is to March but we still had a heavy snow squall today. I know it is officially spring but it certainly doesn’t feel like it…as IContinue reading “Impression of Spring”
Snowy Spring Day
I love the snow, I really do…but not in late March. I’m a realist and know that living in Western New York we will not see truly nice weather for a while but I thought we were done with the snow for the year…at least the really heavy stuff. The streets have been dry, forContinue reading “Snowy Spring Day”
A Few Snowy Pics
The above picture is the view from the kitchen window (at my place of employment); the below are a few things I saw on my way to work this morning…had another significant snowfall today. I decided it safer to walk than ride this morning…actually, not sure if I would have been able to ride atContinue reading “A Few Snowy Pics”
Snowy Ride in…
Here’s a picture as I arrived at work this morning. After last week’s thaw and the new blanket of pure white snow it looks more like the beginning of winter than the end. And being frigid cold again, I was glad–as I often am–that I only have a short ride in the morning.
Plus de Neige
No I do not have a filter on the camera…it was snowing and blowing so hard today it was difficult to see across the street. This makes it very difficult to ride a bike…and even if one did venture out it would be unsafe on the streets because of low visibility. I don’t get veryContinue reading “Plus de Neige”
First of the Season
It snowed yesterday for the first time this season, this is a picture of it last night. There are only a couple inches of snow, which in this area of the world is nothing to get worried about. But it seems so magical to me…those first few times it snows. I love the different seasons…itContinue reading “First of the Season”
I Can See Clearly Now
Ok, this may seem silly, but for as long as I have been riding through bone-chilling Buffalo winters I have not worn any sort of eye protection…I can’t tell you how many snow showers I’ve squinted through. I’ve seen other people biking with ski goggles and thought about that, but then the other day IContinue reading “I Can See Clearly Now”

More Winter Notes
I know I keep harping on it, but this has been one cold and snowy winter. Sometimes it gets me down (maybe it’s the lack of direct sunlight), but other times I find it truly beautiful…today was one of those times. The snow looked so white and pristine, even in an urban setting. Here’s aContinue reading “More Winter Notes”
Snow, More Snow, a Peeve, a Link or Two, and Few Other Things
OK. I know I live in Buffalo, NY. I am fully aware of its reputation for snow, but enough already…it has been snowing for the past 24 hours. It’s not been full throttle–if it were rain it would be labeled as a drizzle–but it has been non-stop. Here’s a couple of photos; first daytime, thenContinue reading “Snow, More Snow, a Peeve, a Link or Two, and Few Other Things”
Snowy Ride on the Mule and Kidnapped Snakes
I love hauling stuff on bikes…it gives me such a sense of accomplishment, of satisfaction. For various reasons I haven’t been on any of my bikes for a few days and was determined to ride one today. Our meditation group met at at our church tonight, which is only about a mile from my house,Continue reading “Snowy Ride on the Mule and Kidnapped Snakes”
