What’s Up in the Neighborhood, February 5 2022

By the time you read this, I’ll be outside, chiseling that igloo of ice off my car, so that I can attend this afternoon’s Trivia Bowl competition. But before I scrape that snow-cone off of my Chevy, I’m taking some time to go through my personal blogroll and pull out some awesome blog posts and photos and concepts from those who are on my blogroll.
