Snow?!


Snow? Snow?! WTF?

“If you win the rat race, if you come in first place, then a rat is all you will be.”

Ms. Pgh ran into an ex-fling yesterday at Whole Foods. Here’s what happened:

2:15 p.m.
Ms. Pgh arrives at Whole Foods and selects a lunch from the expensive but delicious foods at the hot and cold bars.

Ms. Pgh waits in line at the register.

Ms. Pgh chats pleasantly with the cashier, then has a funny feeling that someone is looking at her.

Ms. Pgh turns around to see L eating (alone) by the window, staring at Ms. Pgh's reflection in the glass.

From that spot by the window, he must have seen Ms. Pgh enter the store. Has he been watching her the whole time? Ms. Pgh hopes she hasn’t done anything embarrassing near the tofu.

Ms. Pgh pays and heads for the exit, noticing that L must have hauled ass out of there, because he vanished in about 30 seconds.

Ms. Pgh shrugs and walks to her car.

As Ms. Pgh responsibly buckles her seatbelt, L drives by very slowly in the Porsche *sigh*, steadfastly staring straight ahead.

Ms. Pgh backs out of her parallel spot and eases out onto Centre Ave.

Ms. Pgh changes lanes a couple times to avoid slow/parked cars, and ends up directly behind L at a stoplight.

L stares at Ms. Pgh in the rearview mirror. Doesn’t wave. Doesn’t smile. Just stares.

Ms. Pgh opens her sunroof and turns up the stereo.

L takes off (Porsche) weaves around traffic, then swerves over to the side of the road and screeches to a stop, letting Ms. Pgh pass.

Why? Ms. Pgh was not following him. Ms. Pgh has many more important men to follow, like ones who don’t need pills to operate, or fingers you-know-where to finish the job.

Maybe that cliché about why psychiatrists go into psychiatry is true…

Dude, YOU are the scary one. I just wanted an overpriced lunch from Whole Foods.

Tragedy

My heart goes out to the Pittsburgh police officers involved in today's tragic shooting, and to their families and loved ones, and to the people of Stanton Heights.
