Tuesday-Feels-Like-Monday Night Rambly Bits

[gnomi]

-- This evening's commute home was *nuts* (red line Kendall-Harvard, then 66 bus), with weird unexplained delays (including sitting for 10+ minutes at Central). I don't think it was related to the fire that hit Downtown Crossing-Park St., but it might've been.

-- Got off the bus in time for it to start drizzling again. While they predicted we'd get a real soaker of a storm in the 6:30 PM region, it never seemed to manifest.

-- Am alone for the next three nights (tonight and the next two) due to mabfan being out legislating. I'm getting freelance work done, and some knitting, and at some point I'll figure out what we're doing for Shabbat meals, and that'll be what I'll do Thursday (causing those meals to manifest, I mean).

-- gnomi's Easy Nachos (for which mabfan has another name) are not dinner, but they make a good "I had a large lunch but now I want a snack" snack.

-- Breaking News: Brookline Town Meeting just a bit ago passed the budget item funding the RFID tags.

-- I appreciate having friends, new and old, who recommend good books I never would've known about otherwise.

Oh, it was most definitely because of the fire. Good times for all.

Got off the bus in time for it to start drizzling again. While they predicted we'd get a real soaker of a storm in the 6:30 PM region, it never seemed to manifest.

Really? In Central Square it rained torrentially for at least a half-hour somewhere in the 3:00-4:30 range, and then it rained again (only a bit heavily that time) around 6:15-6:30.

It poured like the dickens in the 3:15-4:00 range (I was at work in Kendall at the time, and a coworker friend of mine and I watched the sky turn darker and darker), and then it was gorgeous for a while, and then it drizzled in Brookline from about 6-6:20, but they'd said that Brookline would get soaked around 6:30 but it never came. I'm not complaining, mind you.
