One downside to LED lights is that "kids these days" don't understand light bulb jokes.

Here's a beautiful September day in Pittsburgh in 1905 to help remind us of the good old days.

Just finished Season 2 Episode 3.

This series is just getting better and better.

But it delivers.

It was so slow, we kept not watching it. but then we'd always go back to it cause the story/character development, and fun with the butterfly affect was so good.

Well, here we are last night, at the end of S02E08:




And despite the fact that the several minutes leading up to this have been a gut-wrenching horror show, that brief little shot right there is the extra little NFL placekicker to the nuts which makes you aware of the fact that the blood in your veins just dropped 30°.
