Working late or working a lot can enable you to see things that others miss. Two weeks I came across one of my favorite midnight activities when I found crews painting lines on Cambridges streets. This has become very complicated business. It is no longer simply a matter of painting a single line down the middle of Mass. Ave. Streets narrow near intersections and have arrows for bike lanes and double arrows for lanes that should be shared if one can imagine such a thing. This is probably my second favorite late night activity after the arrival of the circus which can involve trucks moving animals and trains with elephants. Soon we will have a magical gathering of U-Haul vehicles from all over America. There is that morning when we arrive for work and find every inch of Main Street lined with U-haul trucks. Most of the trucks get parking tickets as a sort of Welcome to Cambridge gesture. In Hawaii when you arrive they give you leis and flowers. In Cambridge you get a parking ticket.
