#87 - eternity in seconds

Late day sun as it drops faster than any flaming sky orb should be able to, changing, painting, illuminating everything rapidly, an orgy for the eyes that a brain can barely process and the only hope is that your shutter is quick enough to save some of it for later.

#86 - The Best of Humanity...

It often takes the worst of humanity to bring out the best of humanity.

I had begun to doubt the awesome of Pittsburgh about a week ago; yet another serious incident with a cyclist went down.  After two fatalities, at least one cyclist rehabbing in a wheelchair, and countless others dinged, hit, and scratched, the story of Colin Albright being chased down by a knife wielding road rage dickhead made me question my faith in the burgh.  I even twittered "If Pittsburgh is Americas most livable city, there must be some serious Mad Max shit going on elsewhere."  

I walked, I rode, and I saw things through a murky filter for a few days; but then I saw the love and the positivity that came out to help support Colin and  I realized that one lone sociopath can't bring this City down.

#85 - Honda Honda go faster faster

The guy riding on old square ass honda scooter ripping over a curb out of the Royal Place on route 88 at 2:30 on a Sunday with a baseball bat in his rear basket.  Keep doing what you're doing.

#84 - parking chairs again

I did a search for Pittsburgh building codes pertaining to private residence parking, and and the first hit was a thread entitled "Neighbor's Parking Chairs are Driving Me Insane"

#83 - new shortcuts

Blindly following traffic down unknown roads in blind hope a new shortcut will be discovered.

#82 - hating

Despising the 95% of Pittsburghers who drive 40mph through the Squirrel Hill TUnnels, yet never meeting someone who will admit to doing so.

#81 - drinking marathon

Knowing as many people in the marathon sunday morning as you did at the bar saturday night.
