Google Maps of route between Wellesley Rte.9 Dunkin' and MA Emergency Management Administration bunker...
Easy on, easy off.

The size of Xi's bribe still being hammered out.
This time it won't be a few paltry export licenses and preferenial treatment for family members' jewlery and accessories lines.
He and Xi now both old men in a hurry.
Incredible art of gritty playing fiddle on the roof of a west Philadelphia row home. In Yiddish it says Fidler Oyfn Fakh פֿידלער אױפֿן דאַך)
We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

The Cyclops episode in Odyssey 9 is a systematic inversion of normal guest-friend norms, for example.

The Holy Twins - story of St. Scholastica and St Benedict, illustrations by Tomi De Paola. A miraculous snowstorm is part of St. S's legend, so she's the patron saint of snow days. (Thus the snowflakes in the air in the background.)
Alright, you two. Knock it off.
I'm not angling for snow days any more.

Hiroshige - fireworks at Ryogoku Bridge. A skyrocket has just exploded over a long wooden bridge. Spectators watch from boats. Ueyo-e print from 1858

I spent my life getting really really good at arcane things from way back that turn out not to matter much anymore - whether it was Latin or Greek or Morse code.

There'd have been some odd coalitions in the struggle to do so. Vestigial Federalists and Lowland/Tidewater southerners would both have fought it.

The City of Little Shoulders?
I imagine Chicago must be like the MegaWorcester
I was always amazed at how many distinct ethnic neighborhoods there were - this'd be late 70's - in such a small area. Great storefront restaurants for poor college students.
