powerlines, winter sky
January 10, 2010
People in North Bay keep telling me how lovely it is here in fall, in a tone that suggests they’re apologizing a little for the winter and for the fact that pretty much my whole time here, from now until sometime in April, will be winter. When, in fact, I’m walking around the place grinning like a goon and taking pictures of the snow and the bare trees and the cold sky like someone who’s in that giddy first phase of a brand new love. And then posting them online like they’re something special and not totally boring in that special way that someone else’s new-love-giddiness is: crushingly, eye-rollingly boring. Sorry, y’all. The novelty will wear off eventually, once I realize that North Bay farts in the bed or cuts its toenails in the kitchen or something like that. Once I get tired of being cold.

I bet North Bay folds the towels the wrong way.

Beautiful photos, not boring at all.
