I spotted the machine pictured at the top of this post earlier this week. It looks a little cheaply built for a medical body scanner, but that was my first assumption.

But there’s so much winter: it appears in November, and lingers through April. Some days can be brutally cold. It’s time to nail down winter… Continue reading Looking Forward to Winter
