Amazon: We can't afford to pay our workers more.
Also Amazon: We're going to pay Terry Crews a boatload of money to come roleplay as a poor person for a few hours.

Tonight, I meant to place a $2.50 bet on the Sabres winning and Kyle Okposo scoring 1st.
Instead, because I'm old, I accidentally placed a $250 bet on the Sabres winning and Kyle Okposo scoring the 1st goal.
Tonight is a very, very, very good night.
It's impossible to explain to people not in/from Buffalo how nuts this storm really was.
36 straight hours of Cat1 Hurricane winds, coupled with 4 feet of snow, snow drifts much higher than that, and real feel Temps below zero degrees.
And it'll be 50° next weekend.
Insane.

Let me die the way God intended:
By a hundred million year old pterodactyl swooping down from the skies of an amusement park I paid to much to get into, biting my head clear off my body as horrified children scream in terror.
"Now that Buffalo elected a Socialist, I'm never going to come downtown."
Oh no, how will we ever recover financially from your once a year trip to the taste of Buffalo, where you inevitably try something from Applebee's because everything else is "too ethnic," Brenda.

I was once asked what my 5 biggest weaknesses were.
5.
FIVE.

I said "sometimes I drive too fast?"
I did not get, nor want, that job.
I wish Buffalo had more than one professional sports team.
NBA would be super cool. MLB I'd probably get sick of but go a couple times a year.
Hell, even an NHL team would be cool.

I, for one, appreciate their brave sacrifice, so that there was a browser already installed for me to use and immediately download Chrome and/or Firefox.
If I had the authority, I would eliminate the golf course at Delaware Park, plant a massive amount of trees, & have a system of well lit walking and running trails through the park.
So many more people would get to enjoy and absolutely huge park in the heart of Buffalo this way.
So, I know the guy who plays piano at the Hyatt on Friday nights, and apparently the Dolphins checked in a short bit ago, and he was throwing jabs at them through the song he was playing as he walked by.
I'm seeing if I can get the video now 🤣
We have some friends who live on the same road as Byron Brown and they've messaged us that the road has been plowed about every 2 or so hours since the plows were able to get out.
If you're wondering why your road is still impassable.
Brown echoes a crackdown on looting -- he said the Buffalo Police Department has created a "anti-looting detail" and said they'll be "aggressive" in finding individuals involved in looting.
"Did you know WNY is a actually on a huge faultline?" has been my go to local trivia/talking point since I was like 11 and now everyone's going to know.
I have to change my entire personality now.
@KittenFlower
Once I had a new coworker who seemed kind, but used the R word, which I hate.
I brought it up to her & said that out of all the words in the English language to use, why that one? She stopped, thought for a few seconds, and said "You're Right, I'm sorry" and never used it again.
Went outside to shovel our side door because the snow drift was nearly to the handle. Got this little video and it feels like a different world. 4ft show drift next to nearly bare ground. Cars buried but our 23" candy canes visable. So weird and calm and quiet in North Buffalo.
@clairewillett
I was giving handfuls of candy away since the weather was so bad. I put a huge handful into this little girls bag (maybe 5 years old). She looked up at me, and totally deadpan goes
"That's too much."
I burst out laughing it was adorable.
Bills Fans: Generally pretty cool. Not weirdly defending a Sexual Assaulter. Realize football is mostly cool but there's a lot of problems that need fixing/addressing.

17 people died, many because of issues that our M.I.A. Mayor/CC refuse to address, & I'm supposed to care about Multi Billion dollar companies being looted?
Spare me. If you care more about 7/11 than you do about poor people dying preventable deaths, you're part of the problem

As a wedding photographer this is not shocking (& super sad).
Most of our clients were great, under 10 people, were tested prior, etc.
But some clients were absolute monsters, and we just gave them their money back & called it a day.
You get the absolute best and the worst
@krneely
We embraced both our pink and our purple bathroom! The purple bathroom added wallpaper, an old mirror instead of the boring one they had in and pink trim!
Lots of people asking what we'll buy.
- I told my wife to get whatever she wanted and she wants some summer dresses.
- I'm going to get a Sabres Jersey (poll coming soon)
- A dishwasher
-Cat Cafe, Nice dinner, and night on the town.
