The Twilight Zone?

The city is emptying up really quickly, and if the fact that more and more of the stores are closing up isn't enough evidence, take a look at how much parking there is on the streets!

Usually, one would be lucky to find a spot on any street. Some of the streets were still pretty filled, but there were areas that were emptier than I've ever seen them before.

It feels like one of those episodes from The Twilight Zone where the characters are in a ghost town.

To make things even more surreal, check out what we saw on the way to work yesterday!

Is it some kind of spaceship? Who knows... anyway, we've finally lost internet at home. They probably shut it down because everyone's on holidays, so it wouldn't be worth the money for them to keep it running. But it kind of stinks for those of us left here. The town is basically shut down so there's not much to go out to do either. Even the TV programs are notorious for being particularly bad at this time of year!

Anyway, we'll have to figure out things to do for our last few days here.

As a side note, MIT is spotlighting the MISTI blog on their front page today. A good handful of students have submitted their stories to tell, and a couple of my posts made it on there too, so make sure to check the site out!
