A kegerator? Jeez Snowy - inventive. Where you movin to?

So the stairs to my apt are not only brutal, but they are truly funky. They are metal with cement aggregate blocks inlaid. (Were talkin the last vestiges of mid-century style here.) Under the aggregate is more metal that is painted. That paint is peeling off and just a mess, with the metal all rusty. Of course if you dont look too closely or under them you dont tend to notice. But when youre standing on the twelfth step for the 14th time in 80 degree weather looking at a cool river you might tend to sit down and just take a look around you and soak it all up. That includes the paint.

About halfway up I begin to experience just a bit of vertigo, at least with my arms full and not grasping the railing. So I suppose this next year will be dizzying. What have I gone and done? Longer commute, high up, totally new side of the tracks. Im totally excited and totally freaked!

I have to go back there today, and climb those steps.

Shit.
