An open letter to the T

Dear MBTA,

I live five minutes from the Charles MGH stop on the redline. This morning I left my house around 9am to catch a bus at South Station (3 stops on the redline in case you didn't know) at 9:30. Since it should be about a 5 minute ride on the train, this should have been no problem.

However, I had to wait 10-15 minutes for a train to show up and when it did, I could only ride it 1 stop, to Park, where I then had to take a shuttle bus the rest of the way because of a "public safety exercise" or some such other nonsense.

Hmmmm. Since you don't run 24 hours (which you would do if this were a real city like New York - oh yes, I said it) doesn't it seem like the best time to do things that require shutting down train service would be when the train service is already shut down?

Needless to say, I missed my bus and had to take a much later one, which messed up my plans for the day and meant a visit that was supposed to be about 4 hours was instead about 1.75 hours. Oh, and while I'm on the subject, thanks for the awesome train schedule to and from Worcester.

You suck.

Sincerely,
Jenn

Emily the hunter

A little while ago, Emily went hunting. Did she find a bird? A mouse? Worse, a rat? A baby bunny maybe?

No, she found...

Biscuit

A biscuit! This was supposed to be part of Heather's dinner, but she foolishly left freshly cooked biscuits out on the stovetop where Emily the hunter could find them. She dragged this innocent one up on top of the fridge to be devoured.

But, she got caught! When I confronted her with the evidence, she perched on top of the cabinet and tried to look innocent.

InnocentEmily

But I know your tricks, kitty. I have the evidence.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
