And don't pahk ya cah there, eitha!

Warning sign in Harvard Square today.
We figured we'd head over there because, well, because we haven't been there for awhile. The T was, of course, up to its usual weekend tricks, so we had to take a shuttle bus from Park Street to Kendall, then transfer back to the Red Line; the one saving grace of that trip was we got to see the fabled Mr. Gobbles, perched on a first-floor window ledge on a building next to the Volpe center.
Once we got to the Square, one of the first things we heard was the LaRouchettes serenading us in some incomprehensible language, although no doubt they were trying to save students from the evils of social networking, which seems to be their new bete noir - maybe because MySpace is owned by Rupert Murdoch, who used to be Australian, which means he's under the influence of Queen Elizabeth, who wants to shoot us all with laser beams from space.
But how'd they know a couple of my Facebook friends have put zombie bites on me?

Saturday On The Red Line
I was heading to the Legal Test Kitchen yesterday and as we were being put on buses at Kendall, someone said out loud to no one in particular "Did Something happen at one of the t stops? why are we being bused?" As someone who took Saturday classes at Umass Boston for 2 years, I informed him no need to fear that there was a shooting, terrorist attack, or something sinister because when it comes to Saturdays on the Red Line it is a 50/50 shot that you are going to be bused.

Longfellow Bridge
We could see the (apparently deserted) repair vehicles on the tracks on the Cambridge side of the bridge, so it probably really was track work.
As we approached Kendall from Central Square on our return trip, Automaton Man announced "Next stop: Davis Square. ... Next stop: Kendall. ... This train's destination is ... Alewife."
Which got the suburbanites with the T map sitting near us a bit panicky. Fortunately, the grizzled T veteran sitting next to them calmed them down and convinced them that, yes, they were headed in the right direction for Ashmont.
