Tuesday 8.7

7:46 AM, Spring Garden Bridge, Listening to George Saunders on the Interview, created my icebreaker for the morning based on this Chekhov quote:

A work of art doesn’t have to solve a problem — it just has to formulate it correctly.

South Street Bridge, 3:55 PM

Monday 7.5

Start the Week on how the arts impacts health.

On another note, the red light cameras by the art museum are live. That’s good news for pedestrians who’ve grown accustomed to the five to ten cars that blow the light leaving you even less time to get across the street.

But the money goes to the parking authority, which only fuels an already bloated bureaucracy.

And for me, I’m waiting on the pedestrian light to get across Kelly Drive. They installed the electric about a month ago but haven’t set up the lights. This is one of those crosswalks where nobody stops; the kind souls who do invariably run the risk of getting rear-ended or of having someone swerve around them to plow through the crosswalk.
