Almost winter

After a fairly warm Fall we're starting to consistently get days around or below freezing, but even if we get a whole month of days around 0F, it'll be easier than last winter. Why, you ask? The answer is simple: diapers, or the lack thereof. Yes, no more "this has to go out right now" trips through arctic conditions to get a stinky diaper out to the garbage cans.

Late Autumn

We took Jason out to North Pond park to enjoy the last leaves of Fall.

Rats with Fluffy Tails

I was out taking pictures of Jason and Sonya, and let me tell you the city squirrels here are not afraid of people at all.

"Memories For Sale"

I actually got through the entire voting period without getting a single comment from any of the 119 people who voted on it.

"We got BUMPED!"

That was Jason's reaction to a minivan rear-ending us on our way home earlier tonight. He hit us hard enough to push me into the car in front of me, even with my foot firmly on the brake. Nobody was hurt, and the minivan was the only vehicle to look like it had been in an accident. There weren't any marks or dings from my tapping of the front car, and just a couple dings on the back hatch door of our SUV. The minivan? It had to be towed. As it hit us its bumper went underneath mine, and my steel frame smashed his grill into his engine. The people in the van had to push it to get it out of the middle of the road.
