Transit strike info and putty (life)

I was going to regale you with stories of the flushed candy cane...but, instead, I've decided to share some very good reading.

Number One: The most honest view of the transit strike I know of (to date)

Number Two: A photo of the most silly putty I've ever seen in one place (also, to date).

I do believe that I'm in a mood. I think it has something to do with hearing Russian all night.
