On the road again tomorrow, to Rochester to visit my friend Kim. She tells me that the buildings in the postcard above still stand, so I might try to do a modern day recreation. (Or not.) I’m tremendously excited, in part because it’s supposed to get down to 26 degrees there this weekend — woo hoo! And we even get to go watch the Buffalo Bills play the Carolina Panthers on the frozen Astroturf tundra of Ralph Wilson Stadium, one of the few NFL parks where frostbite is a more serious public health concern than drunkenness. (And considering the Bills and Panthers are probably the worst two teams in the league — combined record 2-21 — I’m sure watching someone’s nose slowly blacken and fall off will be the most entertaining thing about the day.)
In other news, Doug Bedell, author of the blog story linked below, was happy to be informed about dfwblogs, so perhaps there might be much exposure coming sometime in the future via a DMN story. (As long as he doesn’t mention me!)
