“Steve Wilhite is wrong. Steve Wilhite admits that he has never even made an animated GIF himself. Can we even trust Steve Wilhite? Don’t allow Steve Wilhite to dictate your life. Continue on with your preferred pronunciation, whether it’s a giff, a jiff, a heef, a jefe, or a gee-eye-eff. We are all correct. (But do let us point out that the acronym stands for “Graphics Interchange Format,” not Jraphics Interchange Format. Moving on.)”

The Mother Warns The Tornado (Excerpt)

(Tornado)

but know this: If you come down here—

if you splinter your way through our pines,

if you suck the roof off this red-doored ranch,

if you reach out a smoky arm for my child—

I will turn hacksaw. I will turn grenade.

I will invent for you a throat and choke you.

I will find your stupid wicked whirling

head and cut it off. Do not test me.

If you come down here, I will teach you about

greed and hunger. I will slice you into palm-

sized gusts. Then I will feed you to yourself.

Catherine Pierce

(I realize this is all over your dash; I know you have seen it one hundred times already. I know you are bored, but I need these words.)

Talking Heads - Nothing But Flowers

This was a Pizza Hut; now it’s all covered with daisies.

Pittsburgh discovers Roanoke

“Poised in a valley surrounded by mountains, Roanoke offers vacationers all kinds of activities. Outdoor types can spend the day hiking or biking its long network of greenway and mountain trails or traipsing through caves (Dixie Caverns are in nearby Salem). There’s also fishing, boating and horseback riding at Carvins Cove, which borders 14 miles of the Appalachian Trail, and camping and picnicking at Smith Mountain Lake. Forming the headwaters of the Roanoke River, the 4-mile scenic trail at Bottom Creek Gorge features the second highest waterfall in Virginia. More sedentary folks will have fun exploring its vibrant downtown district, which includes boutique shopping, decent restaurants and nightclubs, a hip coffeehouse and the oldest continuously operating open-air market in the state. (The first “hucksters” set up shop there in 1882.)”

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Blue Ridge High: The Pleasures of Roanoke Beckon

Nice write-up about my city. Funny, because I’ve spent a lot of time in Pittsburgh and the place has always reminded me of home.
