Before I left for Pennslyvania I drove to work at University Hall at about 5:30 AM. I have never seen Harvard Square from this early in the morning. It was so quiet and still. Nothing was moving. It was a giant socialist beast that was asleep. I went to UHall and moved an assload of computers out of the basement to the yard to get picked up later that day. I left at around 6:15 AM. By then the beast ws starting to wake, commerce was rising with the sun. Metal shutters were opening and people were milling about. It was pretty intriuging how in that half an hour how fast the square awoke.
