Blinding Sunrise
For some reason the sun was utterly blinding during the whole commute this morning. It was a very strange phenomenon. I took a picture to inadequately show the effect.

Steaming.. transfer station
The Lexington Transfer Station is quite steamy in the morning. Applied Orton-ish effect for.. I dunno. Its just not that pretty.

Smoke gets in your .. dining room
The fireplace was working overtime courtesy of ‘snowtober’ – power was out for about 2 days, so sitting by the fireplace was about as good as things got.
