Must always carry cash.

Last Wednesday, my co-worker and I spent literally all the cash we had at lunch time, after dropping off a grant application. We went to a place called The Cozy Corner, which was, in fact, cozy. I had a grilled cheese, kettle chips and a root beer.

On the way to the cash machine and back to the office, we passed a young woman carrying a folded up blanket who asked if we could “spare anything” — without stopping, as if no one ever bothers to answer her.

What a shitty time to be without cash. Whenever I think about the defeated look on her face, I wish I could find her again. I tried to pass it on to a youngin Friday who needed cash to buy lunch at the B&O Museum, but it wasn’t the same.

Cold early this year?

Geez, it got cold quickly! I just started wearing shoes (not sandals) last week. Fall came so early this year that I feel like I missed it. But I’m glad to have some winter. It started early in the Dale three years ago, but then the winter was warm and depressing afterward. Maybe we’ll get some nice winter wonderland this time around in Charm City? I’d better get some better fenders for my bike! My storm windows are closed at home, and I actually wore my scarf at lunch yesterday at a nice cafe’.

Cold, from last week.

Didn’t get this up last week. Quick one. For Photo Friday: Cold. This is from the Washington Monument Lighting in December. That is all.
