My Daily Travels

Despite looking out the window and seeing a yard full of flowers along with frolicking squirrels and birds, it doesn't feel like spring today. The forecast has predicted rain for most of the day with a high temp of 54. It's days like this that I prefer to stay indoors, watch a few good movies, and... Sign in to see full entry.

The main entrance into the city from Highway 51, the Liberty Tunnels in Pittsburgh were the first automobile tunnels built in the United States. At one time, they were the longest automobile tunnels in the world with a length of 5, 889 feet. Workers broke ground on the tunnels in December 1919 and... Sign in to see full entry.

It's 54 degrees, sunny, and there is absolutely no wind. I am doing damage control in the yard today that occurred after the mini tornado tore through our yard a few days ago. There are quite a few broken branches to clean up, and I have started pulling my spring decorations out of the shed, a... Sign in to see full entry.

Before heading off to work, John helped me with the cleanup. We live in a virtual tornado... Sign in to see full entry.

I woke up to a loud crash around 4:30 am, followed by another horrendous loud noise a few minutes later. My bedroom window illuminated the outdoor activity that was causing all of the ruckus that let me know that there was major activity going on. I walked into the kitchen, opened the door, and was...

When John is off of work I tend to eat heavier meals. I can often later feel the effects of gorging when I zip up my jeans. Five added pounds can be the difference between night and day. Luckily I have a Peletron that enables me to work off two days of unwanted calories and flab. I jump on the... Sign in to see full entry.
