magidHappy Bastille day!
Best typo OtD: amusement perks
Sights from this morning's walk:
An Escher-tessellated car: a silver car with red and black interlocking almost-lizards, that tumble outwards and get free along the sides of the car.
A Monarch butterfly enjoying the flowers outside the Dante Alighieri center.
I saw the stage being put up for the Commonwealth Shakespeare production of The Taming of the Shrew. It's at the bottom of the field that leads to the Public Garden, rather than at the bandstand.
I found the bumblecow, atop the entrance to the Lenox hotel. Not easy to find, that one.
Kosher_blog pointed out that Manischewitz is having a kosher cooking competition (up to 8 ingredients (plus salt, pepper, and water), less than an hour). Which is cool. But why does the entry form require giving one's date of birth?
Seen at Copley, Wednesday:
Three touring buses, one of them an old school bus gloriously painted all over*, a riot of 60s color, plus the door was wood, and it looked wood panelled inside, too. Very cool. They were ostensibly from two different groups, part of a 'Merrymakers Caravan', but when I checked out their websites, they're related. Twelvetribes.com and Hippiecrit.org, which I would link to, except that the first (and presumably the second) looks like it's a J-for-J variant started in the 1970s. (And now that I've Googled, I find there's already more than one cult-busting sites aimed at them particularly.) Ugh. I hope no one got sucked in (or gets sucked in during their tour, for that matter).
* Reminding me of the wonderful bus in a short story by Joan Aiken in The Necklace of Raindrops, which I absolutely adored as a kid. I had fantasies of living in a redone bus far before the Knight Bus appeared.

I like buses like that. I'm angry it's a J4J thing. They've been out in droves in NYC (as per orthomom.blogspot.com, among others), but I hadn't heard of them being here. Ugh!
