No regrets, right?

If I had yesterday to live over again, I wouldn't drive three miles with the parking brake on. But we did get to walk around Fresh Pond, (the city of Cambridge's water supply) and they did fix our brakes while we waited (3 1/2 hours).

We got to see the nature of Cambridge, Boston's Ivy League neighbor across the Charles.




The most poison ivy I've ever seen in an urban place. So much they have to warn people.


I didn't used to think of chipmunks as urban animals, but we saw several around Fresh Pond (and no gray squirrels!)

Is it normal to drive for miles on pretty fast roads and only smell it after about 15 minutes?

holy cow. I wouldn't think so, unless it hadn't been entirely disengaged and thus slipped back during driving.

the time I did it, the car was pretty tough to drive, and the smell started within a minute.

Yeah, I think there was already something seriously wrong. [livejournal.com profile] urbpan said it didn't feel weird at all.
