Allison Moorer warbles @ WXPN

Allison Moorer seduced the lunchtime crowd at WXPN’s Free at Noon concert on Friday — not bad for a woman who noted with considerable humor that she is eight months pregnant. She said balancing a guitar on her belly was like balancing a 2-by-4 on a basketball, and that while many pregnant women revel in their condition, she had grown impatient with the process. “I wouldn’t change it for anything,” she said, “but let’s get this shit over with.” She passed on greetings to the crowd at World Cafe Live, Philadelphia, from her husband, Steve Earle. Moorer’s performance can be heard here.

Pamela does Rite Aid

Shadows & vines

This guy is just doing his job — cleaning vines from a vine-covered wall on a building in Narberth. But if you’ve recently seen “Avatar” you can’t help but feel that on Pandora he would be plucked off his ladder by one of those flying banshee creatures and taught a lesson about the interconnectedness of all life.

Good day to cut pond ice


Dan Vashlishan of Tannersville, Pa., and Sam Conklin of Hamlin, Pa., run the ice-cutting machine from behind a cloud of icy spray thrown up by the blade during the Tobyhanna Ice Harvesting Festival at Millpond #1 on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2010. The annual event commemorates the era when ice harvesting was a big business in Northeastern Pennsylvania, an era that faded after electric refrigerators became more common in the 1930s and beyond.
