I prefer satin in general, but I want a pair of these Prayer Panties. There's just something about the idea... (Hmm. Only problem (other than lack of funds) is that they're bikini style, which usually means too low in the front for me. *sigh* (Don't think about that too hard or it'll become TMI))

I did go shoot a few frames of the snow falling at the Inner Harbour. Attracted the attention of one person in uniform, but he didn't ask me for identification or anything, just asked about the way I was dressed and observed that "there's nothing wrong with [taking a few pictures]". I used up the few frames left over from Darkover in two cameras, considered reloading, and decided to just go with the little bit I'd shot and head home. My fingers were getting cold despite the gloves, and I didn't relish the thought of reloading a camera in the snow.

On the way home I noticed the floodlights on Lombard St. that point at the side of the Bromo Seltzer Tower, and the cool way the falling snow looked as it fell past and onto the lights, so I reloaded one camera in the relative comfort of my car, turned off the engine (to kill the vibrations), rolled my window down partway, and shot the lights with the camera braced on the window. For the slower shutter speeds, I rolled the window back up until it gripped the lens firmly between the glass and the top of the window frame, for even more stability. Hope I got something good.

Going to crash now. Car is safely stowed around the corner on a street that's not a Snow Emergency Route. I would've swept or shovelled the sidewalk before coming in except for two things: 1) it's still snowing hard enough that anything I do now will be moot by the time anyone else cares, and 2) my right knee locked up on my front step on my way into the house -- I've got it so I can walk on level ground now, but stairs are difficult (sharp pains in the front of the knee, under the kneecap) and I figure I should stay off it for now and hope it's better after I've slept.

Fulton and Monroe are heavily salted. So is Pratt for the block between Fulton and Monroe, but other than that, neither Pratt nor Lombard has been salted west of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Fulton and Monroe constitute a segment of US Route 1, you see, but this end of Lombard is "just us poor folks"... With any luck they'll get to Lombard by sunup, but I figure it's about a 50/50 chance.
