Happy New Year

Well, it's not quite been a month, so I think I'm still in the clear for blogging. The good news is that I'm arting up a small storm, my graduate applications are mostly in, and everyone's happy and healthy. However, my recent parking ticket is confusing the heck outta me. It seems it doesn't exist, so I don't want to pay it... but I don't want to get in trouble for not paying it. Anyway, so I was on the city's cite, trying to figure out whether it actually exists, and voilá! A map of Boston with Logan Airport, East Boston, Boston Proper, and South Boston highlighted. Holy cow - Boston is small than its own airport. Don't believe me? Look!

Yep, it covers Downtown, the North End, the West End, the South End, Back Bay, and most of Boston Proper - with a little redistribution, it would be all of it. That's incredible. If you fly into Logan with your destination as the city of Boston, you land on a single entity that is larger than your destination. Logan Airport doubles the size of the city. Think about it.
