A few quickies

A few things i would like to share with the world before I hit the hay.

I did something last week that has some longlasting consequences. I made a bit of a time capsule of my time here in Boston. Not quite what you think, though. I could explain, but you know what they say...a picture is worth a thousand words and all that. ---->

Second, I was almost run down by an angry old man today. I was riding home and he felt it necessary to follow behind me about 2 feet from me, then honk at me and pull past roughly 6 inches from my left elbow. Needless to say, I wasn't thrilled with the encounter. I don't really want to get into the complete details because I want to go to bed, but that was the closest I've been to getting run over in some time. So please, if you drive, be considerate of the bikers you see on the road. We are just trying to get somewhere too, albeit sans 3600 pounds of metal, so don't feel like we are just targets for your enjoyment.

And to round it out I was brushing my teeth tonight and I was glancing around the bathroom and noticed something. All the toothbrushes were Oral-B brand. This is a fairly well regarded brand in the dental field, as my sources tell me, and it got me thinking. What if there's something more, something better? Why am I, as a human being, not getting the best brand of oral hygiene products there is? Is there a brand called Oral-A? One that is better even than the venerable Oral-B? I need to know this.
