John P. Trevisani, you are an asshole
Not that it's hugely important or anything, but March is National Women's History Month. The plastic surgeon across the street has put up a sign declaring it "Breast Augmentation Month." Poor taste, jackass. -

Haiku
Sun rises over traffic.
Leaves scud the ground like snowflakes
lifted by slow tires.
