Driving down the road in Florence, Mass. last week, my girlfriend and I saw something by the side of the road that made us pull over to the side, endangering ourselves and others.

 We knew we were being bad. But it was just ... too tempting. And we took pictures:

Now I'm going to do one more bad thing, succombing to temptation -- plug an off-site blog. www.intotemptation.net is the site for my current ongoing book project, and First Post was ... 10 minutes ago.

I don't intend to cross-post, etc. If I write on OS about what I'm working on or what happens with it, it'll be more like ... a peer group kind of thing, I think. Though I've learned it never pays to underestimate readers. Any readers.

Thanks in advance for letting me get  away with that.
