take me as I am

I rode in a plane from New York to Los Angeles yesterday on Christmas. Along the way I finally realized why it's called the "Airtrain" (it goes to the airport). It was weird to be traveling so far in five hours, the same distance it took three months to go on a bicycle. I was last in California on April 15, 8 months and 10 days ago. 11 days now. I have never felt the need to take a picture out of the window of a plane before. Here the plane is descending into the L.A. basin:



It is also weird to not feel very busy, I haven't had more than one day off in a row in a few months now and so many of my projects are stuck in New York.

Snow!

It snowed today and stuck for the first time (it snowed last week but it had been raining before so it just melted). Here are some pictures from the store and the walk home, it's supposed to snow more tonight!


Outside the store right after it started, there is no snow on the ground in the foreground because that is where the basement of the store is under the sidewalk and so the snow melted there.


Dylan sprinkling salt.
