It's a bit surreal to look out the window and see the latest round of snow pouring down and then look back at my screen and see LA trying to do the incinerate. Got to watch my own house burn down once, that was bad enough, can't imagine what it's like to watch your whole town burn down.
@dandays you still got peeps out that way? When it happened to us, the community pitched in and helped us get back on our feet. Be much more difficult with the whole community dealing with the same devastation.
Here, everyone is starting to get a little nuts with 'all' the snow. School's been cancelled all week, the grocery stores got wiped out like it was the early days of the pandemic, and the folks who have made it out on the roads have been going above and beyond the city's usual penchant for errant nonsense.
That's enough winter for one decade, thanks. Had to go edit some photos from before the snow just to try and shake off the chill.
When the storm first hit, one of the neighborhood restaurants opened its doors to shelter those who had nowhere to go. Local media reported on it, and so the Fire Department showed up and cited them for not having the proper permits to do that. Remember y'all, no good deed goes unpunished.
Here in Louisville we have a season in between winter and spring, known affectionately as pothole season. If you're really lucky, you can sometimes see a young pothole feasting on a passing tire. This one don't count as a pothole though, a car crashed into a tree and burst into flames, caught the building next to it on fire, and then a few weeks later they blocked off the street and started tearing the hell out of it.
Upon further reflection, it's 5 in the morning and I need to be doing the horizontal. Y'all stay warm out there.
Some pictures in winter are very amazing my friend, which is why many shops are closed even though it is very important for the surrounding community to shop for their daily necessities.
