This guy was given a ticket for not riding his bike in the bike lane in NYC. So he decides to ride his bike in the bike lane…whilst crashing into everything that is blocking that lane.

This from the class correspondent of the Middlebury class of 1935—the oldest class represented in our alumni magazine:
“I am in a retirement home. There are about 50 residents here. We have a lot of activities to choose from that keep us busy and entertained. I spend a good deal of time on a sunny porch and enjoy the company of a number of friendly squirrels that come for the peanuts I toss them. We had a lot of snow this winter, which reminded me of the old days at Midd; it definitely reduced my squirrel visitors.”
Sadness.
I really love United Airlines (because obviously the Star Alliance is the best one) but I get a lot of emails from airlines so I just went to unsubscribe from my United Airlines emails because they are annoying and I never read them.
Here is the fine print on my email:
You are subscribed to receive information and updates from United at kathryn.clagett@gmail.com. Please do not reply to this email. We cannot accept electronic replies to this email address.

Cool, I’ll just write you a letter! That will be quick and efficient!
I eventually found another way to unsubscribe but I still enjoy the absurdity of this paragraph.
I’m currently planning a trip to Texas for the first week of May and I’m researching places to camp and/or hike in close proximity to Austin. Currently high on my list is Enchanted Rock State Park. This gem comes from a Trip Advisor review of the park:
2 Stars:
“Not a quick place to stop off to see the “Enchanted rocks” You have to pay to go hiking or camping and you can’t take any rocks with you. We didnt stay when we found out all of this so I cant rate anymore than this. “
What fun is traveling to a giant rock if you can’t take any of the rocks with you???
Last week I had the pleasure of going to see an awesome band from Austin, TX: Yellow Fever. The male half of this duo is married to my grad school friend and she is awesome and got us comp tickets. I really like their minimalist sound (although the number of instruments they are each playing during the show would beg to differ with that descriptor) and Jennifer has an awesome jazzy voice that works so well in the context of this music.
Anyways, check them out on their MySpace. And on Amazon.
