The goddamn KCS "Belle" paint scheme, which makes everything look like a kid went wild in a candy shop, then vomited over everything.

Since transitioning, I have started experiencing day to day pleasures much more intensely than before.
This was a good day; a short walk in the sun, food cart lunch, and sitting in a coffeehouse drinking coffee & reading nonsense on social media :-)

A stand-in for this week's fruit pie. Sadly, the fruit season is running down in a hurry and I'm going to have to switch to squash pies (until the squash supply runs out and I have to dig the bags of frozen pie filling out from the basement freezer.)
