"Odds & Ends"

Most puerile environmental bumper sticker ever: "Keep the Earth Clean! It's Not Uranus." I would, um, advocate also keeping Uranus clean. . . . Another car features two bumper stickers, "My Other Car is a Bicycle" and "My Bicycle Doesn't Need a War to Keep It Running." Hey, why let driving a car get in the way of your smug self-
satisfaction about not driving a car? . . . The Philadelphia Orchestra is performing the Ralph Vaughan Williams Sixth Symphony in October. This is shaping up to be a good year for the RVW Sixth Symphony on the East Coast. . . . You don't need a TV if you can occasionally watch clips of Stephen Colbert on YouTube . . . Amato's down the street from me makes excellent pizza, though in New Haven it doesn't count as one of the superstar spots. You don't have to wait in line to get in, though: a plus . . . A drugstore checkout counter displays a rack of lip balm that is supposed to gloss, plump, and sun-protect your lips, as well as to suppress your appetite. Whatever chemical they're putting in there, I'm not having any.
