Hampshire House yesterday spotted this enterprising young man making the best of a long wait for the 27.
More importantly, what do we think of these newfangled portal-into-the-center-of-the-Sun stop signs they’ve started installing ’round the ‘hood?

Such a sunny “STOP” sign
Timbuk2 bag. just sayin’.
What exactly is going on here? Just that he is sitting in a chair? Is that what’s so enterprising about him?
construction 1636-paris, france: marin mersenne writes, -if another method is not used to play the trombone [sacquebute]than to play the trumpet, it imitates the tone of the aforesaid trumpet, which is considered vicious and unsuited for concerts (mersenne 272; mersenne-chapman 343). speaking of the trombone’s technical abilities, he remarks, -those who use it [the trombone] well perform diminutions of sixteen notes to the measure- (mersenne 272; mersenne-chapman 343). mersenne also observes, -musicians have invented many instruments to mingle with voices, and to make up for the defect of those who perform the bass and treble, since singers who have low bass voices are very rare. that is why the bassoon is used, and the sackbut and the serpent, just as the cornett is used to supplement those of the treble which are not usually good- (mersenne-chapman, 348). c. 1575-munich, germany: a contemporary painting of the munich court by hans mielich depicts orlando lassus, seated at the keyboard, with his ensemble of musicians around him, including trombone, cornett, woodwinds, and strings. the trombonist appears to have a slide extension handle (see detail and full image below; public domain) (landon 20). not only does this film encourage you to look at yourself and find those childhood passions and dreams that you’ve left untapped, but it causes you to think forward to your children and how you can help them be who their strengths lead them to be. without saying it, the film moves you to help children identify those innate abilities and patterns of behavior that make them who they are, and to help them focus and channel those behaviors into strengths.
