Gas station in snow

We’ve had two mini-snowstorms in four days. That’s a lot of snow for December, even if it didn’t really accumulate or stay on the ground long. I walked around a bit and went to a familiar place, the gas station.

Drink @ the gas station

There are two gas stations in the neighborhood, the name-brand vendor and this one. For the longest time it looked closed, but there was an Open sign on the door and a shadowy figure in the office. If this place was a house, it would be haunted.

Big boy, small cat ears

Large tabby, man of mystery, has gone missing. In fact, we don’t know its gender, but this cat looks male. Don’t know when, or where he disappeared, or if his name is silly or serious. Keep your eyes open.

Foggy gas station

Light rain, fog, low visibility, periods of heavy rain – that’s what it’s been like this week. The 3-day weekend is almost here and they say the sun may come out now and then.

This is why our figures are so robust

I’m still sitting on the F Train bus from yesterday, and working on a theory about fat and sedentary Americans.

If a person is buying gas, they are likely not getting as much exercise as someone who takes public transportation or does not have a car. More importantly, with prices being high, a half dozen donuts, on sale for $3.99, is going to seem a bargain. Who can resist? The triumvirate of evil – smoking, lack of exercise, unhealthy food – merge at this gas station.

It rained recently

How can you tell? Look at the schmutzed-up bus window. Keep your umbrellas handy, this rain spell is not over quite yet.

The bush @ the gas station

A different view of my favorite gas station. As a non-driver, I buy more coffee than gas from this place.

In the mood for a 3-day weekend

That flag is really blocking the view out the bus, so it’s just as well there isn’t much to look at. We know the long weekend is coming up and don’t need the flag to remind us! By Monday, Memorial Day, we’ll feel a little patriotic.
