Uber Tuesday


Time to turn the page, folks. He's my man...


snow report


with a month left of winter snows (and, historically, two months of possible spring snows), we stand at 39.5 inches total for the season. Only 17 seasons since 1929-30 have been snowier here, but that number includes the entire season. Ranking the snowfall so far against the same point in the past 78 years shows the potential for this winter to be among the seven snowiest, if trends continue. ... And they probably will as three more snow storms are coming this week.

The image above, taken yesterday, Groundhog's Day, represents only last week's 9-inch-plus snowfall as we had thaws earlier that melted the buildup.

So what's the big deal? This is Chicago, right?

Right.

But y'all in California just like to feel good about your decision to leave all this behind. Dontcha?

ashley street photo

the new photo behind the title is from our old Ashley Street building, but from how it looks today, not how it looked then. Don't know that I have any images of the facade from back then. Anyone else have something float-tanky?

old gay folks home

"Europe's first old people's home for gay residents is already a huge success in its first month."

Read more here.

See, we've got to get moving on the plan! Alan, you're going to have to invest money in some property in Northern Cal, large enough to build a compound where we'll all live. Maybe near wine country so that we'll have part-time jobs pouring tastings to drunk twenty- and thritysomethings driving up from S.F.

Gregorio and Al will have to figure out the financing of the whole thing. Boyer will produce, of course. Paulie will outfit all the rooms very tastefully with the coolest designs.

So, let's get cracking. Moneka, you're a very good organizer, so you need to grab that bull by the horns.

It's all coming sooner than we think. Boyer is almost 50.

you go, Chi Chi


Can't say that most of us need this message, but good for Chi Chi for making this video and putting it out there.

It's worth watching because it is so well done. Preaching to the choir about safe sex, sure, but she also makes a strong point about the guys taking risks in bareback videos.

Plus, on top of the important message, the video is fun ... and we get to see Chi Chi as a man ... gasp!

Check it out at safesexishotsex.com or where I first saw it Towleroad.
