Walnut Street Bridge, 7:49 AM

Listening to Ezra Klein with Adam Tooze

Lancaster Ave

Best puzzle of the year with my favorite clue in a long time:

Spent all week trying to find the least icy bridge to walk across.

Through Penn Park this AM. Listening to Ezra Klein with Cailtlin Dickerson.

South side under two inches of ice. If today’s thaw doesn’t deal with that and we get a real storm this weekend I may not walk on that side until March.
