This morning I saw what looked like a Model T driving up Jane Street. It was green, and a pair of bull's horns was mounted on the front. There was some kind of fringe hanging off the back bumper. The driver was in modern dress (wifebeater, lots of tattoos) but he was smoking a cigarette in a devil-may-care manner. I couldn't quite see the top half of his face, and thought of him as the ghost of Stagger Lee (although I know that song predates the model T by decades).

I was on a trip with my parents. As we drove to the hotel, I kept noticing really old automobiles on the highway. Normally, I told anyone who'd listen, if you see a car more than fifty years old *at all*, it's because someone has collected, restored and cared for it -- but these ones were in awful shape, with big dents in them and their drivers struggling to keep them moving. I also saw one car whose make I couldn't even recognize; it looked like miniature tank, or a large avocado on wheels. I began wondering if there was some kind of ugly car rally going on.

Then again, maybe I shouldn't have said anything -- we were travelling in a VW beetle so tiny that when we got to a hotel I just put it on as a backpack. Actually a pretty useful feature, that.

One of the desk clerks was Cillian Murphy.
