White christmas, sure...





Some mornings it takes more than double the time as in the summer to get to work...and yea, you might need to push or hike the bike a bit at times

All the images are beautiful, thank you. Pengy, it looks like I woke up in Narnia today, lovely.

Have liked all of chumps, too.

Had to snap a couple yesterday, since I never got around to taking the ride pics I promised for the Data dump thread.
I did have the camera with me a few times, in the summer, but usually I can't be bothered to break the good rhythm and stop to fiddle with a cam

Actually, I really like winter too. It has its own enchantment, even thou it can be a real pain when there is a lot of snow and temps drop to -20 C or less ... Especially if you are not on skis or snowshoes. And you can't just get up and go out, you need to think about what you need to wear, and pack some spare clothes and gloves too if going anywhere far.

In a hotel lobby interview in Berlin, Atwood gladly filled in the Cambridge, Mass., references in "The Handmaid's Tale," starting with the grim, monastic clothes store, Lilies of the Field,
placed in what had been, in pre-revolutionary times, Cambridge's beloved repertoire movie house, the Brattle Theatre.
Atwood said, "The grounds in front of Harvard's Widener Library is where they have public hangings."

"The Handmaid's Tale" got its macabre geography from Atwood's 1962 graduate school stint at Radcliffe College. "Harvard gave my book a sniffy review in Harvard magazine," she said.
"But one of the persons it's dedicated to is Perry Miller, through whom at Harvard I studied the American Puritans in great detail.
The roots of totalitarianism in America are found, I discovered, in the theocracy of the 17th Century.
'The Scarlet Letter' is not that far behind 'The Handmaid's Tale,' my take on American Puritanism."

Just got this new "phone" and supposedly it films in 1080p HD. Anyways, I just bought some earbuds tonight and uploaded this video to my youtube channel. Listening to it I am amazed at how advanced this little fucker is. Put the earbuds in when viewing and just this all coming from a hand held "smartphone". The stereo capture of the sound is amazing for what it was I was doing. Do your self a favor, put the headphones on and just check it out. I originally just went down here to check out the phone and see what kind of bird pics I could get. I wound up discovering the setting for video. I'm not lying, it's pretty fucking amazing. Put it on full screen and bear in mind, this is all from a fucking cellphone. . . But it's a beautiful moment of winter in Seattle and that part is why I am raving about it.
