Here's some good #Boston news, anyway: the #MBTA seems to be working better than it has since snowpocalypse 2015. I've had several completely uneventful rides-- no long waits on the platform, no stops and slow zones along the way

Middlesex Fells hiking with the view of Boston skyline

Boston skyline is very hard to capture because of the tallest building in not only Boston but also the whole New England isn’t in the downtown cluster 😆

Nice little walk around Jamaica Pond

As a city dweller for several years I had never done this. Just drove by and was amazed how beautiful it is. Today is a good day to finally do it and enjoyed the crisp air and the snow!

A periodic reminder that there is an email list for my modern classical radio program.

Each week I sent out a *single* email with links to information about the week's show, plus a link to the high quality audio for the show.

(It's a link on https://samply.app/ If you have good internet bandwidth, you can even get lossless quality. But the default is great.)

This is usually what happens at the intersection of Longfellow Bridge & Charles St in Boston. Everyone is selfish and no one moves. I chuckle every time I ride my bike past this mess.
