Good gravy. I made the brilliant decision to walk to Total Wine for some more gin and not my smartest choice. Passed the street sign, pictured above, and couldn’t believe it. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a street sign blown off before. Anyway, this weather is CRAZY. Stay warm. My face is still defrosting. The gin helps…

I’m sure we can all agree…

Thanks to Peter for sending this awesomeness: “In other 11th street transit developments…”
