Apples to try and get your hands on: Zestar, Bonkers, winesaps, Keepsakes, or Fortunes.

For some reason I was jonesing for an apple today. All I had were some past their prime Empires but they were good enough to chop up and throw in my oatmeal.

Turn on the TV and Jeopardy is on and the first Daily Double in the category "New York Cities' Names" is:

"Second in population to only New York City, this western port is known as the Nickel City"

My cousins lived in Buffalo (well, just outside it, in Wanaka) when we were growing up, I've been there a lot. Never heard it called the Nickel City before.

When we started going there, the Lackawanna Bethlehem Steel plant (2nd-biggest steel mill in the world, supposedly), the nearby Republic Steel mill and the big Ford stamping plant were all running full blast (Ford still is), it was a hive of industry. My cousins' house was direct Erie lakefront, often at night you could see them dumping slag in the lake at the Bethlehem Steel plant, flames way up in the sky, smoke and steam rising in clouds lit by the flames and red-hot slag, that was a sight to behold.

Ever since the Buffalo was put on the US nickel (called the Buffalo head nickel of course), it has been referred to as the Nickel City...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

I always saw a certain beauty when the refinery towers lit up at night down the road where I grew up in Jersey that most missed. Glorious red glow in the East.

Back when I was in that business I worked a night shift occasionally, so about 2AM I'd take a stroll out there to make sure the 11-7 shift weren't sleeping. I'd take a climb up one of the towers and take in the industrial beauty of thousands of sodium vapor lights lighting up 200 acres of pipes and tanks. There was a serene beauty to it.

I always thought a cool sight was growing up driving into downtown Cleveland in a blinding snowstorm at night you'd pass the steel mills down in the valley and through the thick blanket of snow and black sky, still see those massive exhaust flames shooting out of the blast furnaces into the sky.

Btw, fam in NE OH sent me pics of the 22” that storm dropped on em this week. HV better have gotten at least that or more. I’m expecting a solid base when I pass through later this month.

[EWG]

At least we’ve moved past apples.

It looks a bit scratchy.

"Thanks to one of the cloudiest climates in the country, unfortunately, most Central New Yorkers were inside bars and didn’t get to witness the meteor."

Fixed it.

Hmmm, I’ll bring my rock skis just in case. This is what it was looking like closer to the snow machine early in the storm



Fucking uploader. KQ, help?

You're not using your imagination.

Right? That’s plenty enough to slide on. Probably build a kicker too.

You do realize that iceman is older than the Buffalo nickel.

Are you drinking too much tonight, again?

Are you drinking too much tonight, again?

“Too much” seems like a nebulous concept to me. There are so many variables
