As expected. Oh well. I wish the Dems could have found a better, young candidate, but I guess this is what we're stuck with. When Biden was running for reelection, I was refusing to vote for him because he was clearly not up to the task. Markey still seems to have most of his marbles, so...

Oof,that's terrible. But I do welcome the housing.

I voted for Moulton using my absentee ballot a few weeks ago. As I stated earlier, he's about as charismatic as a fence post, but I'm not thrilled about another octogenarian in the Senate. From the polling, it looks like I'm gonna be forced to vote for the 80-year-old...sigh

If Black people can get to work on time because trains and buses are on schedule because of the good work he's done, I highly doubt they'll care all that much.

I think the top one is a bit less red and more maroon. It used to be my favorite of the three, but I think I like the third one now, even though it screams "Uruguay!" at me every time I see it. I just wish they would decide, for crying out loud. How much more time do they need?

I think the difference between the projects is that almost everyone who lives near the path of the Orange Line WANT that extension. It's just a matter of getting the money and the political will to get it done. For commuter rail to Nashua, I'm willing to bet the opposition is considerably...

I feel like we should have a competition to see what happens first: Commuter rail to Nashua or an Orange Line extension.

In addition to the 3am last call, they should allow bars and clubs to stay open after last call so that closing time can be staggered and so there are fewer incidents. Some clubs can even stay open til 4 or 5 and the clubs can serve soft drinks until then. That way, more people can have a fun...

Damn New Yorkers! Always trying to outdo us with their absurd prices! ;) https://www.foxbusiness.com/sports/taking-train-world-cup-games-metlife-stadium-could-cost-around-150

A general response to all the recent posts: 1. Just because immigration was one way back in the 1920s, doesn't mean it's that way now. We have laws and I think that when laws are made, they should be enforced. That being said, I'm not unsympathetic towards people who are willing to risk their...

I have a four year old, so I actually had a few years where I just didn't have time for my hobbies. Now that she's getting older, I'm doing more hiking these days when I can. I'm not the "climb Mt Everest" type of hike, but I do like walking the trails near my condo. I like to think I live in...

It IS a very minor issue, but Blackbird raised it as a reason not to vote for Moulton.

I wouldn't say he has a "bad record." He just expressed the very popular view that he's not comfortable with trans girls playing sports with biological girls. Hardly earth-shattering. He wasn't attacking the entire community, and he actually does have a good record for supporting LGBTQ veterans...

I guess I've seen far too many cases lately where our representatives (from the President down to the House) have clearly passed an age where they can effectively represent their constituents. I realize that Markey could still have many good years left in him - hell, Malaysia elected a 90+ year...

Of all the hotels in the world, this is one of them.

Fantastic 😬 Instead of having a relatively youngish liberal Democrat in Washington, we'll get another octogenarian. I doubt these guys have very different views on most issues in Washington, but do we really want to send another old guy back to the Senate?

I wasn't even aware of this. Thanks for posting. Maybe next time we go, we'll spend more time in the city. I did see a few nicer, more upscale areas - I had to run to a mall to get something and everyone had to go through a metal detectors just to get in.

We also got down to Galle Fort in the southern part of the country. Not much of a skyline, but it's a very cool, walkable area surrounded by an old Portuguese and Dutch built fort. I also added some photos of the train tracks located a little bit outside of the city. I wanted to post the video...
