Back in the PDRM!

As you might have garnered from my last post, I, Ushiku Person, have returned to Massachusetts, albeit, temporarily. So, what has been my impression, 1 year and 2 months to the day I said adios to the People's Republic? Well, the T has gotten rid of tokens and has instituted "Charlie Cards" - and jacked the price of admission to $2.00 (!). There seems to be a lot of construction and refurbishment going on in many places in and around town, and the locals seem to be their usual, overly-aggressive-behind-the-wheel selves. The trees and shrubbery look a lot fuller, like they have gotten a new hairstyle, and are using Breck or Prell to get a lusher, healthier foliage. The weather had been cool, but today has gotten mushi atsui, and it is best to hide downstairs in the basement with the dehumidifier. I return to Kentucky on Friday, and I have to admit that although I miss my family and friends here in MA, I also miss my little place in KY. In the meantime, we are having a cookout tomorrow night, and it will interesting to see who can make it on a Wednesday evening...
