Philadelphia
I went down to St. Charles Borromeo seminary in Philadelphia for the graduation of two Boston men who were studying down there. The place is very nice, that's where the two photos above are from, and it was good to spend some with those guys. Being in a car for roughly 12 for a trip that consisted of roughly 36 hours including travel was a bit tiring. Some thoughts from the trip:
Saw a DeLorean on the way down. I noticed that I have been watching cars on the roads a lot more recently, ever since I realized that I will have to get a car in around two years. It made me realize how opinionated I am about style in cars. Outside of my general dislike of those boxes on wheels (like the Element, thank goodness that style has passed), there are just a set of design criteria that I like and that will probably matter to me more than things like engine power or other traditional car specs.
This is a random and rambly post since I think I am coming down with my usual post-final cold.
After 6 hours in a car I saw a sign for something called the Beardly Zoo and commented on how a zoo where they put beards on all the animals seems like a cruel but incredibly funny thing. Trust me, after being in a car for six hours that is the height of comedy.
