#117 - Padiddle

'Padiddle' may or may not be a regional thing, but I love being able to tell a friend that their car is a 'padiddle' and they know instantly a headlight is out.

#116 - Church

There's a church on top of a building. It's amazing, if you just look up.  I refuse to google to verify if it is indeed a church mostly because I want to continue to believe it is a church.

Costco quit developing film. Times are getting tough.

#115 - Bridges on Facebook

I just sent a friend request to a bridge on Facebook.

#114 - 420

Cycling on a long solo mission and used to insults and projectiles being hurled at me, I heard a car slow and 'nice number, bro!' shouted at me. I looked quizzically at the man and the saturn and he shouted '420, dude! yeah!' I realized my Lagunitas bike jersey had a mock number tag printer on it with the classic stoner code on it. I threw the horns and continued on my ride, feeling a bit cooler in my spandex.

#112 - DVE

Our shop (factory) floor has almost uniform 'DVE coverage due to all the boomboxes tuned in throughout individual work stations.

#111 - Seagulls

Seagulls. Ocean Pigeons. Flying Rats. 

They're annoying. And they poop alot.

But guess what? Eagles are back. Seagulls are hanging around.

The rivers are clean(er).

Another resource is being restored for its rightful owners - the citizens of the commonwealth.

#110 - Icy Rivers

The second time in my life the mighty Mon has frozen.

Holy shit. All that power, stopped in its tracks.

Stopped by mother nature, and some polar vortex thing (note: Polar Vortex is an actual weather phenomenon; not some off-brand fleece apparel for the sporty minded available at your friendly neighborhood Kohls)

And that is it. We freeze. The river freezes. Time stops, or at least slows down while all we can hear is the crunching of footsteps and the deafening silence of sound soaking ice.

#109 - BBT

Pittsburgh has so many Bridges and Taverns you have to specify which Bridge Tavern you are going to.

"I'll meet you at BBT"

"Birmingham or Bloomfield?

#108 - Resilience

Shared a lift with a random Pittsburgher, a former semi-pro hockey player who was out skiing for the first time. An NHL team was showing interest when he had a career ending injury.  "I had a good run" he said, without a hint of regret.

Resilience.

I didn't want to talk to anyone that day, snowboarding alone, but the most interesting person on the bunny lift happened to grab my ear.

#107 - The Mayor

Our Mayor makes Simpsons references.

He's also done more in 2 weeks than the   previous mayor did in 5 years.
