Sound the All-Clear

Ok, you can remove your helmet and step out of your foxhole now—another September 1st has come and gone, and if you’re reading this, you’ve made it through. And no one even managed to mau-mau a UHaul into the Longfellow Bridge this time around…not to say they didn’t try, of course.

I frequently find myself wondering what the first week in September would be like in a normal city, one without a college-to-Interstate ratio of 20:1. Sure, traffic would be less awful, and west of Packard’s Corner, things might smell a whole lot less like vomit, but you’d also need more than a $2 T pass to participate in the world’s largest free yard sale.

So maybe try to slip out of work today, and peruse what street candy’s been left behind. I snagged an old-but-functional HP LaserJet 4L for sharp monochrome printing. Apparently, kids these days have never heard of a parallel-to-USB adaptor.
