Well, I woke up at 6 AM completely confused about which day of the week I was facing. I'm still technically off work, but I have to do some shopping for the sites and residents so I'm off to Giant Eagle. I also have to drive Ledcat to work as her vehicle is a giant […]
Well, I've been able to get out for work purposes, but Ledcat and I are both struggling with some cabin fever. Don't get me wrong — we are so very grateful that our power never failed us and that we managed to dig the vehicles out with some assistance from our neighbors. Note: one real […]
As per usual Americana, we “celebrated” the holiday by breakfasting at a local eatery (yes, Hoi Polloi) and then going retail at Staples, Target, Best Buy and Giant Eagle. I tried to muster up some sympathy for laborers, but the customer service experiences at the Cedar Avenue Giant Eagle are very trying. Sigh. When it comes […]
Maybe it is a stretch, but when we exchanged valentine's gifts we discovered that our mutual fondness for K.S. Kennedy Floral had led to an awesome moment …. Ledcat bought me flowers and I bought her fancy vase filled with candy. She didn't cut off her hair and I didn't sell my watch or die […]
Well, the yuppies have certainly done it now. Not satisfied with their choice of hundreds of homeless pets available through the nearby Animal Rescue League and the wonderful pet products offered by Smiley's Pet Pad on Highland Avenue, developers have brought in what is possibly the most low-rent tenant possible for this up and coming part […]
I love Pittsburgh. Only here could a jackass like Kenneth King get sympathy for threatening to “shank” a dog. King, a resident of the Mexican War Streets, walked past a canine unit at the Cedar Avenue Sunoco. The K-9 dog, Benny, barked at him. From inside the car. Mr. King responded to the bark. The man screamed […]
Some satisfactory news on the civil liberties front here in Pittsburgh – the City Police have reached an accord with the Pittsburgh Organizing Group and individuals participating in the “End War Fast” protest outside of the Oakland military recruiting bastion. These groups had previously filed a lawsuit against the City claiming police officers were violating their […]
Just some random questions I have … 1. Why can't you recycle caps from plastic bottles? No one from the recycling world has been able to answer this question. 2. Do thongs/shoes with a little thing between the big and second toe hurt all women's feet? While at the Waterfront this afternoon, I noticed that […]
UPDATE: Upon the advice of my counsel, I have deleted references to minors that may or may not be affiliated with Mr. Edgar Snyder as well as comments about the parenting skills of adults that may or may not be the parents of said minors. My apologies for assuming that the behavior of children (older […]
Ok, this is really bugging me so I have to post to get off my chest. As a Northsider, I am a frequent flier at the best little bakeshop over here, Priory Fine Pastries on East Ohio Street. I stop in to pick up bread, muffins for weekends breakfasts and the occasional pie/cake for a […]
