Well, we have finally completed our move to Atlanta, GA. It amuses me how each city in the US arranges itself differently. Of course, this process can be traced by looking at the city’s history, if you’re really interested, but I’m not going to go into that further. Whereas Pittsburgh was arranged into neighborhoods, Atlanta [...]

Thanks to TwitPic, I can post these pics directly to twitter from my cell phone. Good times.
Memories of the Sun

I think that Memories of the Sun would be a fitting name for a Pittsburgh blog. When I was younger, I loved dark, cloudy weather. I’ve never been a fan of the steel gray overcast that doesn’t change, but it didn’t bother me much. After experiencing it nearly nonstop for the past few months, it [...]
Pirates Game

We went to a Pittsburgh Pirates game tonight. They got their asses handed to them by the Phillies. It was so sad. Donna’s brother and his wife were visiting and their husky has separation anxiety. In the 7th inning, we got a call from our neighbor that an old woman came around complaining and saying [...]
A Flyby of Warthogs

I have no idea why, but four A-10 Warthogs made several circuits around the skies of Pittsburgh today. They are quite noisy, subsonic jets used by the military against armored vehicles and ground positions. The last time I had seen one outside of an air show or museum was when I was kid camping in [...]
Parking Fail

Perhaps you’ve seen the “FAIL” meme that’s going around the tubes. If not, search on google images for “epic fail” and you’ll hit it soon enough (I won’t link to them). Basically it’s a bunch of pictures of people screwing up or things built wrong or whatever. In short: failures. So tonight when we parked [...]
Lunar Eclipse February 20, 2008

Last night was the last total lunar eclipse for two years and it was quite good. Pittsburgh weather cleared long enough for me to snap a couple shots of the unobstructed moon with Regulus (the brightest star in the constellation Leo) bright above it and Saturn even brighter to the bottom left. There was still [...]

It is about 11 degrees Fahrenheit (-11.7 Celsius) with a wind chill of -1 (-18.3) degrees here in Pittsburgh at the moment. As such, the dogs should get sweaters, right? Well, Willow doesn’t really need it. She loves the cold, but she’s cute in it anyway.
Blending

I took the dogs to a different dog park than usual today. Schenley Park is within walking distance of our apartment, and then it was relatively easy to find a stretch of grass far enough away from the road that I could feel safe letting Willow off leash to play ball. Daedalus and her both [...]
First snow!

The first (somewhat) serious snow came today. Well, not particularly serious, but compared to South Carolina where I’ve spent most of the last 22 or so winters, it would’ve shut down schools for two days at least. Daedalus acted a little prissy. He didn’t want to get his paws cold I guess. He got used [...]
