February Frank Freeze   February 02, 2026 I went to Rochester for a quick excursion yesterday, and went to the Ontario Beach area by Charlotte Pier. It was shortly before sunset. It was, how you say, cold. The shore area of the lake was frozen and looked, appropriately, like an arctic tundra picture. I'm at the very start of the pier (so there's nothing beyond me but Lake Ontario). The pier extends pretty far out but I wasn't in the mood to walk that far. It sort of looks like I'm on a boat and the snow/ice mounds look like frozen waves. Actually, there's a sort of glow around the edge of my jacket that makes it look like I was just photoshopped into a stock image. But it's real. I think it's just unwanted evil iPhone evil image processing. This is the full-size image and for fun here's another picture of the icy joy of cold terror.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
