Hot Hot Heat
I was pretty surprised to walk out of the house this morning, only to be greeted by a warm breeze. I'll repeat that. I'm in Boston, it's January, and there was a nice, warm breeze at 7:50 AM. This is something you just don't expect, unless, of course, you listen to the weather forecast. I don't.
On the way to the commuter rail, I saw an item to be added to the list of "Items Seen in a Context Unlikely to Ever Be Seen Again"...or something like that. As I was starting to cross the street, I saw an unopened can of Bumblebee Tuna sitting on the sidewalk. It was slightly tattered and dirty, but definitely unopened and alone. I believe this would make the updated semi-official list of "Items Seen in a Context Unlikely to Ever Be Seen Again" look something like this:
1. Blood on a Bagel
2. Chocolate in a Fax Machine
3. Can of Tuna on the Sidewalk
This would have been a more spectacular find had it just been a lump of raw tuna sitting on the sidewalk, but you've got to play the hand you're dealt.
During the first few months after we initially moved into 23 Boston Ave (Pre-Cable TV), we used to divide our time between playing MarioKart and posing hypothetical questions. I was reminded of this when I heard a good hypothetical question on the radio this morning: If you could choose one, would you rather A) Have a perfectly sculpted body, but be very weak (ex: you could never win a fight or athletic contest against anyone) or B) Have a "soft" body, but be exceptionally quick, strong, and athletic? I'm leaning towards "B", though I'm not sure. Feel free to weigh in with your personal answers.
