It's good to be ready, but nothing in the immediate Pittsburgh area is out of the yellow yet. The Ross Twp one a mile from my house is AQI=55. The next closest two are 59. I'm running air filters and dehumidifiers, not for smoke but for the mold and dust from the house project & a damp basement.

Someone named Caja lost an iPhone. Safe in my hands at the moment. Locked, of course. Ideas, anyone? 8/

I’d never seen a sign for Beware Of Low-Flying Elk before. 58/

Here’s what that storm looked like, in the thick of it. 57/

Meanwhile, back on 872, pre-storm, I checked out the little park for the 1911 Austin Dam Disaster. 56/

15:28 State line! Trip = 9.6, odo = 143,562.

Nice view from up there. Their father owns the business. 41/

I also have to deal with an overhead drone at close range. It’s coming in for a landing here, the green thing only about 8 feet up here.

That curve and grade crossing should make for a good video. The problem might be the 100 people who will fill up that space in front of me. 38/

Five school buses of kids will be joining us. I told their leader that lessons will be available. 37/

Hanging with a bunch of people from Nunda. If you can pronounce Nunda and Castile properly, you’re a native. 36/

An attempt at a selfie with our tree on the @sunygeneseo.bsky.social campus. Solo trip, nobody around to hold the camera since school is out, so this is the best I’m going to do. 29/

This’ll flatten a penny on the track, for sure. 18/

68” drive wheels are as tall as I am. 17/

Just the facts, ma’am. 16/

A million pounds of machine. 15/

Just the front three of 18 pieces of this train. 14/

Old New York Central locomotive also on display.

This is a designated ADA bus so a couple rows of seats are not available for use. 10/

Boarded the first coach at 7:40. I was among the first to arrive here, prior to 7. 9/

7am, on site, waiting to board one of 15 big coach buses to shuttle us over. /8

For those who know this game, this is a major accomplishment! Several days’ effort.

Most of the dots you see here along Perrysville, Brighton & California are my work since October. 5/

Most of the dots you see here were my work just now. 4/

If I can haul home a box this big on my electric motor scooter, there are a heckuvalotta people who do not need to be driving gasoline automobiles. Most everything a single person needs to haul around will fit in the big hatch on the back.

The Ross park & ride doesn’t look too busy yet at 8am. The NFL Draft special service 99North bus does not start running until 10, I’m told. 1/

This is the post office parking lot. The bus stop is on the diagonally opposite corner. Look closely; no-ped-xing signs across both directions from here. I scurried across to the corner to the right where I can legally cross the 7-lane stroad. 5/
