BPL Main Branch steps filled with Obama supporters yelling "USA! USA! USA" and "Yes we can!"

Mike Mennonno reports he was in his local Au Bon Pain the other day when:
A woman on the other side of middle age in a prairie dress who looked as if she'd just escaped from a polygamist sect burst in clutching something to her breast.
It turned out to be a pigeon. The woman was a bird-whisperer, apparently. I'm not sure what brought her into the restaurant, but soon the manager showed up to ask her to please take the bird back outside. The woman clutching the pigeon looked pained, and implored the manager to lower her voice. So as not to offend the bird, I guess. The manager explained it was nothing personal against the bird, it's just a violation of the health code.
The Bird Whisperer huffed out all offended. ...

And doing interesting things with circus peanuts in Davis Square.
Oh, and annoying the regulars on the T:
... Loud arguing over where Harvard Ave / a particular bar / some guy's apartment is as our new arrivals struggle to make sense of the MBTA system map. The frequent urge to say "Take the B Line until you see vomit on the streets" and "Want to get to Allston? OK, take the Red Line to Ashmont, then board the trolley to Mattapan... if you hurry you can make the last one of the night!" ...

Kathleen Powers asks: If bikes aren't allowed on Davis Square's narrow sidewalks, why are Segways? Especially Segways being ridden side by side by people advertising some bank?

Graffiti stenciling workshop in Davis Square:
The immediacy and poignancy of stencil art has made it a prominent tool in DIY political, social and artistic movements. Stencils are a creative and easy way to express opinions, spread messages and expand the boundaries of your artistic language.
This workshop will teach you how to make your own stencil from a found or original image for use on clothing, in fine arts, as wall decoration, or for any purpose you choose. Among the topics covered will be altering images to translate to stencil format, single and multi-layered techniques, large scale and portable stencils, types of paint and stencil frames to use, and how best to use your stencils on different surfaces.

Bobob reports:
I was walking in the Davis Square area and saw a man from a industrial cleaning company dumping his cleaning waste down the street sewer from his van -- it was pretty stinky. I'm assuming this is illegal because when he saw me he packed up his truck and took off in a hurry. ...
