The Big Dig was traumatic, and #Boston still has kind of a public works hangover, but it really was that hard. I remember during its second decade a friend in San Francisco asking, "What's up with that?!?" I explained by asking her to imagine that 101 was converted into a tunnel, running under its current route the whole way it runs through the city, avoiding other tunnels, WITHOUT CLOSING 101. She looked blank and said, "You couldn't do that."

Taking the T today to see whether the shutdown to fix tracks actually works

Especially the slow zones between south station and Andrew, which drove me nuts every time

#LowExpectation though 😅

South shore (Scituate) loop from Dorchester via Milton.

Stopped at Scituate harbor for coffee and a muffin. The coffee shop doesn’t make espresso??? Only drip coffee 🥹

Btw I might have peed in the woods in Wompatuck State Park. The mosquitoes definitely smelt their meat I’d say. 🦟

Overall great ride. Left early in the morning at 7am when there wasn’t too much traffic. It was cloudy and misty, especially near the coast, but it was nice and cool. I’d take that 100% over the 90+ heat wave 😂. The route is relatively flat - 2000 feet ascend over 58 miles. So I did a lot of sprinting - sprint Saturday it is…

A little wandering and exploration in Savin Hill in Dorchester. Not the Stabbing Hill any more. Great view of downtown Boston (should’ve stopped to snap a pic)

North end Saint Anthony’s Feast

Very crowded, a lot of vendors providing the following food:

- pizza
- stuffed rice balls, which I didn’t know is Italian food?
- Italian sub with sausage
- cannoli
- gelato
- $10 lemonade LOL

And cigars OMG the smell I hated

But the food we got was all delicious and the vibe was great. I also had some raw cherry stone clams but I’m still not sure if it’s a right decision to eat raw seafood from street vendors 😂

Entertaining comments in tonight's virtual hearing on new protected bike lanes in Back Bay #Boston #biketooter

A screenshot of a Zoom chat reads:

Breanna Richards to Everyone: "This bike lane will greatly change the appearance of Dartmouth street and the preservation of historical back bay. Who from the Dartmouth residents voted for this? | live on Dartmouth and Marlborough and this will likely change the value of the mansions here"

A response from Micah Smith:
"Sorry about the value of your mansion"

A little bit of mixed modes today:

Grabbed a blue bike at 4:43pm and rode to the Apple store in East Cambridge from Kendall.

At 4:57pm I got the iPad mini I ordered for Josh and grabbed another blue bike riding to Park St to catch the red line train.

At 5:10pm I was waiting for the train.

Literally no other mode of transportation could be this efficient and easy around the city.

I know it’s fun to hate on the T but man have they made progress. Got off my (early!) Amtrak train and went down to the Red Line. Train to Davis showed up within 30 seconds. The Red Line moved smoothly and quickly. Get to Davis and my bus home shows up in 3 minutes. We are getting close to having a fully functional transit system again. #mbta #boston
