"NO PARKING AFTER DARK!"

"NO PARKING AFTER DARK!" But that means we can't "park" or walk along the Charles River tonight to celebrate New Year's Eve! Not fair!!!!

Photo by MarashGirl©2021 N.B. In the 1950's, to "go parking" was a slang expression meaning to take a person of the opposite sex in your automobile and to park your automobile in a secluded spot with the express purpose of "kissing or caressing" the person with whom you were parking.

"It would be purrfect if you throw away trash!"

This "purrfect" post was "impurrfect"! This post was meant to be published on Tuesday, December 7!

Above Photo by MarashGirl©2021 . . . On the trash barrel just outside of Newton Corner's Underwood Elementary School is posted the above sign which reads, "It would be purrfect if you throw away trash!" Whether or not one agrees with the grammar, Marash Girl agrees with the sentiment: "It would be purrfect!"

AUTUMN ALONG THE SHORES OF THE CHARLES RIVER . . .

Santa may be on his way, but these autumn leaves pay no heed whatsoever!
