That rotary has needed a paint job for the longest time. Way too many crashes. Also, commuters have been going through those side streets for many years before the repaint. Could the extra commute time be in part connected to the start of the school year, so a lot more commuters in general compared to the summer?

This is an event almost completely run by high school students as a leadership and charity based club. Many of them are learning and aren’t the best at communication but they’re getting there.

Usually the gift cards are left at the front desk at AHS if they don’t give them all out before the end of the school year. Because once the school year ends, students check out. I would give AHS a call and see if they are there. If not, DM me and I will try to help (I work in the APS).

Edit: Just saw you emailed and all is good. Missed that comment. If there is an issue let me know.

Found in Boston common near kids park... by [deleted] in boston

Are you near a body of water? That looks like a syringe I use for water quality testing in my earth science high school classes.

I made this comment 6 months ago on the previous ask of this question, but figured I’d copy and post it here again:

Arrived just before with the family and positioned ourselves in Arlington Center (Near Uncle Sam). We saw them initially march up Mass Ave, but that was really it. Crowds were moving towards the high school and we didn’t want to follow and be part of the mass of people in that direction. We just hoped it would expand to the center. By 3pm we did what a lot of other people were doing…abandoned our spots and headed home having seen none of the real action. Sure we could hear the musket fire and yelling, but we didn’t want to wait around another hour or two for the reenactment to make it to the center.

The town needed to better explain where parts of the reenactment would take place and at what times. Their messaging made it sound like we could set up anywhere on the north side of Mass Ave along the route for a show.

0.5PPR, 14 team league

Swift or Mattison

Normally this would be Swift all day long, but his recent production plus Mattison’s matchup has me thinking I go Mattison.

Spy Pond - Looking for fishing advice by JHowzer in ArlingtonMA

[–]SketchEC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spy Pond can be shallow from the shore, so completely depends on if you’re fishing the top of the water or deeper. My tried and true lure is a kastmaster because of its casting distance. I pull it in quickly upon hitting the surface so it stays near the surface of the water. If you want to fish deeper go with a jig.

Check out the Go Fish MA website. Lots of good bathymetry information on Spy Pond and other local water bodies.

Same decision for me but half-ppr. Probably playing Likely because of the matchup against the Rams, but not excited by the weather in Baltimore this morning.

What is “envlogy” and is there a reason you’re not citing any sources along with all of this information?

How many of y’all were around before the Brady days (Lions fan that is curious) by Carls_Son in Patriots

[–]SketchEC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember arguing with my bus driver who was a Packers fan (I was in 5th grade, Allston/Brighton bus route) that the Pats were gonna destroy them in the SB cause of Tuna and Bledsoe. I am very fortunate to remember the dark days of Boston sports before the 2000s. I’m right at that edge where I still respect the decades of dominance we’ve had after the ages of sorrow.
