[Into the forest of St. Mark's Place yesterday]
Didn't prepare much for class today, being the first day of summer and all. (And something about a "solstice.") Was going to try an Open Thread Friday (so 2006!) kinda thing on summer Fridays. CAPTCHA is off. Talk about anything! See where it goes! But that's probably a really bad idea!
So what will this be the summer of? The Summer of Complaining About/Loving Citi Bikes? The Summer of High-Waited Denim Shorts?
I'm going for The Summer of the Tire Left In Front of Your Door. This will be a thing.

See, this is what happens when you take away parking spots. People start spreading their car parts everywhere.
See you after Labor Day.
