I rule!












Returned a Netflix movie today to the blue USPS box on the corner. This sticker was stuck on the inside of the handle panel (not sure what else to call that part that you pull open to drop your mail in.) There is was, where there's usually information about pick up times, or how many ounces you can mail without having your love letter examined by the USPS-po-po. But here's the thing; someone took the time to make this sticker that is a bizarre historical reminder, and thought "where should I put this lovely sticker I just made? I know! Inside a mailbox! That'll show 'em. That'll be a fantastic act of vandalism and guerrilla culture jamming! I rule!"

But really? Inside a mailbox? Lame. Try again guerrilla dude.

historical























Around here you can't throw a cigarette butt without hitting some historical thing or another. Perfect example, while waiting for a cab at the Holiday Inn in Somerville* I saw this tucked in their lovely gravel-and-bushes landscaping.

"Paul Revere on his famous ride, April 18, 1775, was intercepted near here by British officers and escaped."
Near here?? NEAR here? If its just near here, what's with the monument? How far is "near"? A mile radius? Two miles? Where exactly did this happen? Do we not know? Shouldn't the monument be right where it happened? And if we don't know where that is, do we really need the monument? Is this some kind of stunt for the hotel? Do they call this the "historical Holiday Inn?" Shouldn't there be some kind of oversight committee to monitor these things? People!! I need ANSWERS!!

*Don't ask why I was at the Somerville Holiday Inn this morning. Its not nearly as exciting of an explanation as I'm sure you're thinking, so its probably better if you just go on thinking whatever it is you're thinking.

amazing













This thing was out for the trash. It looks like a shipping carton for I have no idea what. A maze to train mice? Or possibly its a mold for a make-it-yourself mini labyrinth?

No bubblegum, no bus stops, no babysitting. Spikes okay.











Glad to see the classic Four Square game is still in play- although this court could use some reconditioning- I've seen better playgrounds in 3rd world countries. Who's got the red rubber ball?
