Chasing Chickens

I was on the train this morning and was looking out the window as we left Wedgemere station (best name for a station...EVAH!) I saw a boy running around his yard...along with multiple hens.

He was chasing chickens which is not something you see every day especially along the train tracks of the Lowell line.

Watering Grass

Sunny Monday to start off the week after a Father's Day weekend filled with fun family activities.

I got to the train station a little later than usual. I had to water some grass before I left the house. There is this bald patch in the front yard that hasn't grown grass for years. I think I may have solved it with a little love and a lot of watering.

Thank Truck Driver

An 18 wheeler forced me to not take the exit to 495N off of Route 3 today. I was misjudged how fast he was coming off the ramp and before I knew it, I couldn't merge over without hitting his trailer. I just kept going south on Route 3 and took the exit for Route 129 to get to the train station.

He did not yield.

Working On Science Park

From my vantage point on the inbound train, there is a lot of activity on the Science Park T station. I could see at least eight construction workers moving about on the platform. Some of the structure has been taken down.

It's nice to see progress on the old station. Hopefully commuters don't have to be shuttled from North Station to Lechmere for longer than they have to.

Dancing In The Street

There was a homeless guy playing a guitar and another dude was dancing (like nobody was looking) to his music. It was a weird repetitive dance - with repeated bowing and stepping back.

And he kept dancing...

Thinking About The Weather and Time

It's that time of year again where the sun is out and no jackets are required. Outside it can be hot and humid, but the A/C is cranking in the car and in the train.

I think I would rather be too hot than too cold any day.

I wonder when my driving to work will end?

What would I blog about?
