Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

Find a moment of stillness amid the noise. Tomorrow is coming regardless. It will be easier if you can catch your breath today.

Other social media posts are saying the moped driver was being pursued by the cops and ditched the bike and now they are are searching for him. Not press reporting yet, but seems to be unfolding that way.

The Boston Public Safety Alerts twitter account is saying it looks like it is an unmarked police vehicle, but I haven't seen that from press yet.

If you get to Upham's Corner (Fairmount commuter rail line has a stop), Singh's Roti (Trinidadian) or Comfort Kitchen (James Beard nominated fusion) are at opposite ends of the spectrum, but both worthy favorites.

Meticulous attention to safety, hazards, organization issues. It is not a common phrase, but used on work sites for something like "we've got some civilians coming through here and we need to be extra to keep them safe."

Healey: Massachusetts insurers have to cover the cost of all vaccines approved by the state, no matter what the brainworm in chief says. This includes MassHealth and GIC.

"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." β€” Michael Okuda

Increasingly I go to meetings and just say some version of β€œeveryone here is the exception, not the rule, including me, most people don’t care one way or the other”, and this is why.

Insufficient parking iirc. Also maybe wanted a β€œprettier” (ie, more expensive materials) facade. At least one person felt it wasn’t fair for the owner to β€œhave a windfall”.

St Marks was upset Greater Ashmont [I] filed a letter in support, asked for it to be stricken from the ZBA record, said we shouldn’t be allowed to comment. :|

It is small enough it just had to go to ZBA not BPDA.

80-88 Welles? It was permitted for reconstruction after fire ~2019. Just changed hands in June so no longer the original owner redeveloping. It went before Ashmont Hill and St Mark’s civic back when. On my phone so this is the easiest info I can offer:
