Dim sum!
Then Orange Line to the new Assembly Square station. It still looks underdeveloped, big empty lot by the station, though some transit-oriented development a block away, and work on a 12 story high rise. Nice river walk. Lots of swans on the river, and some I'd guess mated pairs of ducks. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mindstalk/albums/72157660118092399

Then, Orange Line to Ruggles, walk through Northeastern to the MFA. New special exhibit is "Class Distinctions in Dutch Paintings", which I found fairly interesting. Some photos, followed by a Native American gallery. https://www.flickr.com/photos/mindstalk/sets/72157660869739711/with/22185384753/
The exhibit story had a lot of books on American class issues, plus some Dutch books: Nickel and Dimed, and
dead end gene pool
class matters
the other America, Harrington
the American way of poverty, abramsky
low life, luc sante
oh the glory of it all
how the other half lives, Jacob riis
gospel of wealth, Carnegie
multatuli, Max havelaar
the nobleman, Isabelle de Charriere
in the city of bikes

Weirdness: today I posted a crappy kitchen photo of a friend, just for my own visual memory since she's gone away, and got a "Great capture!" comment from some stranger on flickr.
