Cambridge is great for a lot of things, not the least of which is the endless supply of randomness in what you see while out and about. For example:

1. Between Inman and Harvard, I heard twelve different languages spoken, none of which were English, between fellow pedestrians and/or on mobile phones. The only one I couldn't identify was the elderly woman in a sari and her husband.

2. The gomi piles / Sperrmüll on the same stretch contained a couple of busted Einstein bikes, half a sewing machine from circa 1930, and a Mac Classic with the screen busted out and an almost-dead potted plant shoved in it.

3. A dozen suited Harvard Freshman jumping from rock to rock in front of the Science Center.

4. A 4-some singing in barbershop a cappella while walking along Mass Ave from Poster to Harvard. They were signing and smiling from ear to ear.

5. The 16:35 Lufthansa to FRA taking off surprisingly low over the city. Made me wish I was already heading over.
