what about the self-united husbands?

The schizophrenic snow in the ‘burgh the last couple of days has been pretty wild. Sun, whiteout, rinse, repeat. This photo, courtesy of a really interesting iPhone camera bug, captures well how we’re feeling now that we’ve lost our PittGirl. Cold and entirely out of sorts.

walks, shoots, and leaves
