i just cannot comprehend having this kind of disregard for the lives of other people. i don't even drive the speed limit in my neighborhood for fear i'll hit somebody's kid or dog

This morning I dragged myself out of bed at 3:00 to head to the West End Bridge in hopes of capturing the moon over PPG Place and the Christmas tree at the Point in #Pittsburgh. Luckily the clouds stayed away for long enough to allow that to happen. Made for an amazing view.
