    Cycling on the pavement!!

    Where I am, Cambridge UK is known as cycle city ... they are everywhere ... on the pavement / sidewalks! Long queues of students cycling in a row, going through red lights, not using any hand signals ... argh ... They are allowed to cycle in the bus lane but they often travel side by side...

    Being a Kid

    I miss going out the door on a summer morning meeting up with a few friends on the street ... playing paper dolls, cut-outs (making homes from the rooms in the Sears/Eatons catalogue), not going home for lunch but staying at one of their houses or taking them home to mine for lunch ... mothers...
