Vitanuova for 2007 April

Alliteration

I just wrote a sentence that contained the phrase "talking trash about the Treaty of Tordesilhas".

Tube Times

Cool, I made the spring issue of Tube Times (see article "Viva las Lane Stewards", p. 5). I think the hazard in question was actually on Market or Sanchez. And while the article title is probably a nod to Viva Las Vegas, this Lane Steward assures readers that he is grammatically masculine.

I've been enjoying my work as a Lane Steward quite a lot. Pioneering Lane Steward Sam Sapoznick talked about the initial "renegade thrill" from painting city streets and the more lasting pleasure of improving bike safety. I agree!
