She hiked up her dress, squatted and peed right by the building!Dear Readers, As I mentioned last week we got close to 2 feet of snow the week before and it snowed again on Friday (December 29) and we were expected to get close to 2 feet more snow as it would continue until Saturday night. I was planning on not going out on New Years' Eve (Sunday) for the 1st time in 15 years because of all the snow, but it stopped Friday night and the sun was out all day Saturday. We got only about 6 inches more snow where I live, some areas got more (the media made the situation look much worse than it was because the money people were unhappy about being inconvenienced by the snow and having to change their plans). I still was not planning to go out Sunday night and had been working on a backup report I was going to send you today (more about it later), was watching the news to see if the downtown fireworks shows were still on (shows at 9 p.m. and midnight). They had film of the 9 p.m. show, not only was it still on but the crowds looked bigger than they were last year when it was not as cold with no snow! Seeing that I had to go down for the midnight show, planning on being extra careful because of all the snow and ice and not expecting any sightings and pretty much ruling out snapping any shots if I did get any sightings because it would be more dangerous for me if I had to try making a quick exit on ice and snow-covered sidewalks. Getting to the area about 11:40 p.m. I had to park far away because so many cars were in the area (usual for New Years) and it took me longer than usual to walk to the area because of all the snow and ice-covered sidewalks (about half had been shovelled). I was nervous all night about slipping and falling and breaGetting to the area about 11:40 p.m. I had to park far away because so many cars were in the area (usual for New Years) and it took me longer than usual to walk to the area because of all the snow and ice-covered sidewalks (about half had been shovelled). I was nervous all night about slipping and falling and breaking my camera so I walked slowly and carefully, getting to the fireworks area a little after midnight and officially ending my consecutive months with a sighting streak at 117 months as I went 0-for-December. I don't blame these snowstorms for ending my streak, I went out on 2 mid-December mild weather weekends and no ladies peed then - which is the real reason I got no December sightings as it shouldn't have come down to this last night. The crowds in the fireworks area were incredible, much bigger than last year despite 20 degree temps and 12 to 18 inches of snow banks beside the sidewalks and scattered ice patches on the sidewalks. I worked my way down to my New Year's Eve vantage point (across the street from the RTD station between a parking lot and alley), finally getting there 8 minutes after midnight in time for the rush of people leaving after the fireworks who would be hitting the alleys and parking lots for a piss before making the trip home. The alleys were covered with snow (since they aren't ploughed) and the parking lot was snow and ice covered with spaces lost to piles of snow banks from snow ploughs who cleared the street outside the lot - a situation too dangerous for ladies to try to pee, as I heard a frustrated lady who needed to pee say as she watched her boyfriend and another guy run into the snow-covered alley for a piss. So no ladies peed during the half-hour mass exit after the fireworks, I went to the RTD station to warm up and decide if I wanted to stay for the late sightings crowd as I thought the conditions were too bad for ladies to pee. At 1 a.m. I took a walk through the rest of the sightings area to see how it was, police had closed off the street leading to the busy block. The sidewalks in front of the bars were all shovelled out, but crossing the ice-covered streets was dangerous. Small crowds were in the area, I went back over to the RTD station and decided to stay there since it's sidewalks had been cleared and the terminal building was now closed and it paid off, among the crowds coming there from closing bars a lady did pee. I didn't plan on snapping her shot but it was there on a silver platter and I just couldn't resist! The shot of her you're about to see with her story next came out dark and grainy, because I was standing by a snow bank when I snapped it. The bright white snow in the lower right side of the picture zapped all the light from the flash and left her, in the background, without any light so the shot looks like a night shot taken without flash. If I had moved completely away from the snow bank the shot comes out good, something I know now as I've never snapped a pee shot around snow before. But there were reasons why I didn't which are in her amazing story:
Bad shot or good shot? Readers, tell me what you think! Even though this shot didn't come out good this one amazed even me! I am so amazed by how I am able to do this, these was the worst peeing/shooting conditions I've ever been in yet somehow I manage to find a lady peeing and snap her shot - nothing seems to stop the ladies here from peeing! The worst part is there are no do-overs for bad shots like this, the opportunity is there for a few seconds and I either get a good shot right then or it's gone forever. But the best part is that there will be more ladies peeing, more opportunities - just when and where is where the hard work comes in, but the rewards are definitely worth it. I didn't even have time to think about my monthly sightings streak just ending (my last sighting was November 19), thanks to this desperate pretty blonde I quickly start a new streak with my first 2007 January sighting! Backup report: What I was working on Sunday was a summary of my New Years' Eve sightings, dating back to my first year in '93 up to this year, that I was going to send today if I had no sightings to report. I wrote a paragraph summarizing each year's sightings and shots and the major details that year, it was a really fun read so I will send that later this month as I won't have much to write about the next few months as I head into the sightings down-time during the winter months. My 2006 annual sightings summary next week! src="../images/banner2.jpg" width="468" height="60" |
