That's on a piling holding up an overpass of one eastside interstate over another; the term derives from when the intersection was entirely at ground level and can be seen or at least explained here.
* Of thermodynamics. This morning was the first of two straight with hearings in downtown Buffalo. Today was when the return of heat and humidity really got to me; it broke 90F on the car thermometer several times during the afternoon, and the official high was somewhere upper 80s. No real relief is expected for another week. I ended the day with an annoyance and some intentional pain. Annoyance first: I had to pick up some documents for one of two court hearings I have in Buffalo tomorrow morning. They called from Cheektowaga Court and said they'd be there until 4. I hit every traffic light there was to hit on Union Road, including one with a school crossing guard. She yelled at me because I was too close to the crosswalk. Her charge was not a kindergartener, or a little old lady with a cane, but a dude carrying a six pack of Budweiser across the street. Then I got yelled at by the court clerk because I got there only five minutes before closing. Oh, and they already had my copies ready for me, so it's not that I made them stay late or anything, and I was back on Union, dodging beer drinkers, by 4.
* Of bodies in motion tending to remain in motion. Begrudgingly. But I also know nice people in Cheektowaga. One is a friend, and son of an even older friend, who does personal training. He was starting a new hourlong bootcamp near me, and I tried it out along with his mom and another client. He does great work and even though my hamstrings are cursing his very birth, I will probably work one of these in along with the Orangetheory and cardio I've been doing.
* Of equilibrium. Tomorrow, the two aforementioned gigs downtown; then Friday, it's back to Rochester. The weekend will only be two days this time, but damn if they aren't going to be more restful.
