Postcard from Cambridge, Mass.: A tiny tour II

Through the looking glass at Harvard's Science Center. Just a few blocks beyond are (below) the blue plaques of Irving Street, marking the home of psychologist William James (#95) and birthplace of poet e e cummings (across the street). A few doors over is the grey home of American culinary icon Julia Child, who lived and worked for 40 years at #103, broadcasting her shows from its kitchen (now housed at a Smithsonian Museum). Enjoy your weekend!

My Congressman IS a Rocket Scientist

Seen on many cars here. Our Congressional representative, Rush Holt, a physicist, is retiring after eight long terms in Congress. He was an unusual Congressman - advocating for and securing funds to support scientific research and education, social equity, environmental conservation and suicide prevention in the military.

A peaceful moment {+ gallows humor}

At the Princeton cemetery. Below, a touch of gallows humor: "William H. Hahn Jr., 1905-1980, I told you I was sick".

Waikiki! Wait, that's across the world...woops...

What about a Dutch Wilkum sign (at our cheesemongers, one owner is Dutch)...

Or watermelon wear? Farmers market. (Thanks to this gentleman for posing!)

Thanks to Denise, Roger and team at ABC Wednesday.

Weekend explorations: Vintage underground, New York

For Grand Central Terminal's centennial, 42nd Street Crosstown Shuttle riders were treated to vintage 1940s and 1950s subway trains all weekend (still got you crosstown in a New York minute). Mr. L shot the vintage ad (2nd photo): "WAGE WAR ON GERMS - cover your coughs & sneezes PLEASE!!".

I wouldn't mind having this car bumper sticker!
