Photo of me after a four mile run at minus 32 deg F this morning. Frosty on the outside, warm on the inside. The ice buildup on my eyelashes is only a problem when it gets heavy enough to pull my eyes shut. Cell phone camera.

More puppies and stuff from the last couple of weeks of protests in San Diego. (It goes without saying that not all of my photos of the events are shown here.)

28mm Summicron-M ASPH. First light with new lens. 'Not just the first day with the new lens, but this is the very first picture I took with the lens after attaching it to my camera for the very first time.

After a few minutes of exposure to the room, the frost started to melt so I closed the window and let it re-freeze:

I've used intercom systems between streetbikes and even between me and my passenger on a streetbike (full face helmets with lots of wind noise), but I can't imagine why you would need an intercom between two MTB riders feet apart at MTB speeds. Just yell!! Lordy.

Winter Storm Fern fortunately blew through here with less effect than many other places in the southeast US. We had about an inch of sleet on Sunday, followed by freezing rain which produced maybe 0.25" of ice coating everything by early Monday morning. It all mostly melted during the morning and afternoon, and caused no power outages here.

While walking today I noticed an interesting ice remnant.
