Meet at the parking lot near the Hot Metal Bridge - 2nd Ave. side - for a Jail Trail/South Side run. Coffee place TBD - Big Dog on Sarah St.?
It was a grey day later on today, but not for our valiant and irrepressible band (many of whom awesomely started in Squirrel Hill) who got the benefit of a glowing sunrise over misty rivers from three (count 'em!) bridges this morning. This had apparently been billed as an Opening Day run, and since we only got a distant glimpse of PNC Park, we heard some grumbling from Tom about being brought to this run under false pretenses. We hope there will be no legal action. Speaking of which, we once more were guilty of flouting the law as we slinked past and clambered over various barriers trying to reach Pt. State Park but were turned back as the City Works employee drove his truck directly at us making threatening hand gestures. This did allow us to give a second greeting to a friendly man camped out overnight on the overpass - he was rather forgiving of our disturbing him.
Other things of note: three spots where we were provided with some decent party music; patterned river sludge on the Mon Wharf; special appearances of Virginia's lovely daughter Abby and of Sharon who is in between trips to Africa. And nobody looked at their iPhone during coffee!
Now this from our foreign correspondent: PtB:
"For Tom we were looking at flotsam and jetsam and there is a difference - a legal difference - so Tom worthy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flotsam_and_jetsam
And I came across a recipe for a British fruit jelly which is different to a jam but reminded me of that great evening at Wendy's when we were "canning". And what to do with windfall apples. Rose Prince wrote a great book called /The New English Kitchen/ which looks at what we buy, cook etc and being more careful, having less leftovers, what to do with the leftovers, buying different things to create good meals, with less money etc. So a recipe specifically for windfall in the book she talks of adding a teaspoon of chili to one jar for with sausages (ask Paula & Jonathan about good British Bangers). Or spreading the basic jam with blue cheese in a sandwich....mmmmm: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/recipes/3346058/Cooking-with-apples-I-demand-a-windfall-tax.html#
Please don't judge me by the google-pages I find.... The Telegraph is the most right wing of British papers but c'est la vie - apples is apples."
