Wednesday Afternoon Rambly Bits

[gnomi]

-- An observation: A cold, windy, rainy day is the worst time for there to be no working traffic lights at the intersection of Broadway and Third Street in Kendall Square.

-- A question (for those of you who do such things): In comments/IM/whatever, do you tend to set action descriptions off in asterisks or double-colons (thus, are you more likely to type *hugs* or ::hugs::)? Incredibly geeky Nomis want to know.

ETA: All this talk of asterisks in comments reminds me of a ditty I believe I first learned from my father when I was a kid (hey, beckyfeld, do you remember it, too?):

Mary had a little Porsche
She drove it very brisk
Wasn't she a silly sort?
She had her *

-- A statement: The official U.S. time - clock is massively cool.

I didn't realize you worked in the area. I don't actually walk past that intersection on my way between home and work, but I do go through there between work and (the T, lunch in Kendall Square, etc).

I work in 1 Main, which is the building at the corner of Main and Land (right at the base of the Longfellow). This morning, the lights were still out and they'd removed the stop signs, but a coworker reports that the lights were working by the time she came in, so I have hope for my trip home.
