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!)

The Car Curse Continues

[marmota-monax.livejournal.com]

This is Doc's car, right? The Subaru wagon? Yeesh. The recent Curse of Cars continues, and he isn't even around to see it.

On a side note, here is a nifty northeast caterpillar guide/database posted on the 'net that is downloadable:

Scroll down the page to the bottom, where you'll find a link to download the entire thing. The primary HTML file is named "CATEAST.HTM" in one of the many nested folders. I use this database all the time.
