22 Niagara Falls. #FortErie #Dusk #Transit #Photography
A Niagara Transit Route 22 bus pulls into the absolute worst bus stop I've ever used behind the Fort Erie Town Hall (closed) Leisure Centre/Arena (closed), seniors home (Get outta here, kid!), and a potential wait of up to an hour before your bus to The Falls shows up. Not ideal on a freezing day. Pretty clouds, though!

You don’t actually have to share whatever nonsense Elon Musk is saying on any given day. You can of course but you don’t have to. The people what want to know what he is up to follow him. The rest of us don’t.

Snowstorm

Just watching is enough,
as if the eyes were two headlamps, 
the body a stalled vehicle
in all this whiteness;
and every space is filled
and filled again with the silence 
of pure geometry.
Until, as in a blink, the clouds 
part, the fuse

of the sun ignites a passion 
of melting, a roar
down the rooftiles,
and here comes the world 
as it was, untransformed, 
ordinary; and I am still 
at the window, full 
of a cold knowledge 
I hardly understand.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
