I didn't venture out today - because the sky looked worse than the picture above - dreary, white, with bare trees, melting piss stained snow, garbage on the streets, and a kind of dreariness that seeps into one's soul.

Otherwise known as February in New York.

Mother: It's the same here.
ME: Not raining or anything, and cold.
Mother: Same here.

So February in Hilton Head has a lot in common with February in New York, without the piss-stained snow of course. Piss-stained because of dog-walkers. At least I hope its the dog walkers. Possibly cats, although they get embarrassed and like it to be hidden.

The Vaccine

More people are getting it. ( Read more... )

Misc

I've been watching All Creatures Great and Small - I read the books as a kid. It's very good and comforting in its way. I'm tired of watching assholes, so watching shows that do not feature assholes.
