Runners and walkers -- spring ahead!
We'll take the backroom at Five Points Bakery, 6524 Wilkins Avenue, Pittsburgh
Last week the branches were heavy with snow and we warmed up at Panera Bread, this time at the Waterfront.
We had some endorsements. black vinegar, "an acquired taste," was highly recommended.
Also Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide by Linda Babcock.
Skincare recommendations included Clinique and Laura Mercier.
And suggestions for a new Olympic event, using the triathlon as a model: this time, swimming, running, and belly dancing. We have a contender.
Unanswered questions:
What year did the first "I'm on my way" text train start?
Who can recommend a good optician? Or optometrist? Who can spell ophthalmologist?
Can the blog count as a publication if one of us is coming up for tenure? (No on is; just asking...)
Should we boycott American goods?
Will Fresh Market, soon to open in the old Whole Foods building, survive? Which supermarket in this oversaturated area will sink?
Resistance actions of the week.
Act to stop ICE by attending the meeting of the Allegheny County Council's Public Safety committee on Monday, March 2 at 4 PM, County Courthouse, Conference Rm 1,436 Grant St, downtown. Council members need a public show of support for their bill to stop collaboration with ICE by county officials and employees. More info here
Act to save the environment by calling Fetterman and McCormick to demand they vote NO to lifting the ban on mining in the Boundary Waters Wilderness, coming up very soon. This has much wider implications for despoilment of public lands.
