Jonny Numb

I have a job where my duties can be performed remotely. However, our Bureau comes into the physical office twice weekly. Even if the temperatures are freezing (as they have been as of late), I like to venture outside. Maintaining motion is key to keeping warm, though even I’m not immune to the discomfort inflicted by wind and an overcast sky.

On January 21, the cold was offset by the sun, even though the paths along Riverfront Park remained largely iced over (causing my rubber soles to slip on more than one occasion).

While I noticed the aftermath of an accident on Front Street (complete with someone laying on their horn like in that Godard movie), I didn’t take any photos of that out of superstition of some karmic retribution.

I did, however, capture some video of the ice breaking up and floating downriver, an image I’ve always found captivating and relaxing.
