My Joy-Drenched Life, Continued

So remember a couple days ago I was ranting and raving about the street-cleaning schedule being all screwed up, and how it took me a long time to find a parking spot?

Well, I went back to my car today - it wasn't there. Apparently they decided to just go ahead and clean the entire Central/Inman Square neighborhood and tow everything in sight. Beeeee-youtiful. So I got the exquisite joy of long-hiking through the off-off-off-Alewife area to find the tow lot (thankfully, the thunderstorm held off - everything's comin' up me!) and pay the extortionist's fee.

So if you're keeping score at home, this bullshit non-holiday has already destroyed one afternoon and whacked me for 80 bucks I could ill afford. I'm really starting to hate living in this city.

Cheer up, Michael.

It's summer, Ken Jennings has won for 22 nights in a row on Jeopardy, and your remarks reminded me of a great Onion article I saw for the first time (via snpp.com) the other day.

If you can at all do so, just get rid of the car. I mean, come on, it's the Boston metro area, cars are mostly a ridiculous luxury, not a necessity (in most cases).
