Call me a wimp . . . but it’s icy out there. And yet people work outside. Bravo and hats on for the crews and shipyard workers out there where the spray sometimes freezes. Some quick fotos I took yesterday. Would you believe this is the same DBL 140 barge you see in the 5th and 6th fotos here?
Here’s DBL 140 and Lincoln Sea from across the Upper Bay.
Traffic never stops because of some cold.
A tanker with a classic name
lighters just north of the VZ Bridge. Here’s the rest of the fleet and more.
One positive about cold, low humidity air . . . it’s clear. Ocean Leader could never look this good
on a muggy summer day.
Ditto Ruth M. Reinauer moving RTC 102 with an assist from Jill Reinauer.
Anyone handling line on a day like this needs the right gear and
a focus on getting the work done safely.
Bravo and hats on!!

actually it’s only 14. the coldest i’ve ever seen is -25 F in indiana. but a cousin works up in northern alberta, where the temps routinely drop below -30. being unaccustomed to that cold, i AM a wimp. today the letter carrier was cheery and the construction workers did their thing right across the street.

I’m off of the bicycle for now, the wind chill is just too much: I’m looking out
the window, and looking at the computer.
Thank you for braving these elements
