The Daily Report

Today Boston demonstrated what it is like to live in New England in the winter, it is BITTERLY COLD. Fortunately, I did not need to take the Orange Line this morning on account of being able to utilize an automobile. So, in short, I have no idea what, if anything, went on on the OL this morning. Coming home, a little earlier than usual, I found Copley had more waiting passengers than usual, on account of the MBTA logic that dictates that a lesser number of passengers means that said people are more patient. Fortunately the first train to arrive was a North Station 7-8 combo, and it had some empty seats, although a number of these were filled at Boylston with a large party of loud-talking people. You know, the kind that have loud and annoying conversations about trivial subjects. Fun. Train ran smoothly, and the only odd thing in the Central Subway was a Brattle train parked with TWO doors open, maybe to allow access to the useless mural-side platform? I dunno, it could just be some other random act of (T) logic in action. At NoSta I made a good and quick connection to the Orange, and so ended the day's travels on the (T). Now, a message: this is the last Daily Report for a while, as it is going on hiatus for the holiday season. I will continue to post anything I find interesting, and a rant or two should be expected. The Daily Report will resume sometime in the week or so after New Year's, but you can reasonably expect a report of the MBTA's activity on FirstNight. Until then, have a merry christmas, as I don't subscribe to political overcorrectness. And this is all my writing and opinions. Anyway, I'll see you next year.

And so it goes, another day riding forever 'neath the streets of boston.
