The trains in both places are risky propositions. I would suggest that he ride bikes. Or kayak.

Speaking of - I saw a real, live coyote crossing the highway this weekend.

Although I didn't realize it was a coyote. TV has taught me that coyotes are always carrying large packages from Acme.

Florence can be seen on foot.

Ugliest uniforms

I would agree that the Jets and Giants uniforms are among the better ones, but I didn't see them cracking top five -- although I'm more of a fan of the classic uniforms. I had a really hard time keeping the Colts out of the top five for that reason. And I'm partial to the Browns uniforms too, although, again, I'm biased -- in quite a different direction from my bias re: the Steelers, I might add.

By far, the worst uniforms ever were the "Men-in-black" themed atrocity worn by the Ravens:

And, oh, I am very upset that despite my very expensive, borderline-1st-tier-school legal education, I am still in a dead end job.

Unless you are very close to comfortably retiring on a beach, we are all stuck in dead end jobs.

I thought it was a treadmill, but it turns out it's a conveyor belt and at the end they push you off. How do I get one of those cushy perma-counsel jobs?

Eta: some things remain comfortingly the same, like the Jets sucking.

One of the best things about it. But pack comfortable shoes. Those cobblestones are a killer -- esp. if it rains.

(Of course, one should buy new shoes while there, but you don't want to have to break them in.)

I have to say I'm a little surprised that no one would go to Barcelona. I've been to Florence, a long time ago, but I've never been to Spain.

Well, I would go to Barcelona because I was just in Florence in December (actually, I would probably go to Croatia) but if I were not actually I and had not actually just been there, I would go to Florence.
