Observed around town

-By the side of a highway, I spotted a sign that advertised the Brooklyn Tractor Company. Eek! So absurdly wrong.

-An anti-abortion billboard that said "womb with a view." Set aside the fact that that is a heinous pun about a uterus. You can rest assured that the authors of said pun have never read E.M. Forster. To boil it down, "A Room with a View" is a story about how a girl goes on vacation and chucks propriety aside to get in the pants of a hot lower class dude. Someone named Honeychurch elopes to Florence to hump the wrong guy. Oops, anti-abortionists. Better work on that literacy.

-I saw someone attempting to parallel park. This person clearly had never done so before. This person was dropping her kid off at college. Jaysus.

On the good side:

-I heard "Passing Complexion" by Big Black on the radio.

Hey Big Black on the radio! And it wasn't even "never anything to do in this town..."
