  cultural stereotypes
Springtime has finally hit New England, which means that in urban areas such as where I live and work everyone and their dog drives around town with windows down/sunroofs open and music blaring. Usually it's something obvious to the indigenous populations: rap, spanish (I call it tejano but no one up here seems to know that term), rap, reg hop, rap. But this morning some dude (I'm sure he was white and drinking an extra-large ice coffee from DD) drove past my office with 3am by Matchbox 20 blaring--blaring--out of his speakers.

It was, as we say, quite humorous. Ah, Providence.

I'm ready to move.
