After leaf peeping in Vermont, we headed to the Boston area. RV parks are not right in any major metropolitan area - the land is too valuable so any RV parks that might have been closer in once upon a time, have been sold for other uses. We stay outside of the major metro areas and drive, take a train or subway to town.
In Boston, we took train / subway each day. Fabulous people watching opportunities. Most Bostonian subway riders ride with ear buds firmly in place, looking straight ahead at nothing, showing no emotion. (New York train riders ride with books and look down the whole time.) Tourists, like me get motion sick if we read, so I look at the other commuters, and out the window, and back at them, and out the window, and back at them...you get the picture. :) I gather data as I casually glance around and out the window. More on the gathered data later. Tourists like Dave bring their computer and write.
I coined the term, "ear bud over spray" while on the Boston subway. Ear bud over spray is the noise you hear escaping from someone else's ear buds. It sprays out from the gaps between ear and bud. Ear bud over spray pings and hums, and thumps and rattles. It pounds and booms and screams and rings. Sometimes a faint melody escapes. We were sprayed with quite a variety of over spray in and around the Boston area, but I could never really "name that tune"...try as I might!
Love the map. FYI, when you begin your post to Facebook "What's on your mind?"- [clicking inside box does this] the word ATTACH appears beneath your post and if you roll your mouse over each icon you'll get to LINK. (If you type your blog address in your post it will automatically appear here.) Here is where you can just add the address to the LINK. Then it's a one click step for everyone wishing to view your blog. It's great when you have a new blog posting. (Do this using your computer - won't work w/your phone)
