I saw an adorable little doggo on the Red Line last night - it gave me a smile to wrap up my day!

Bikes on a train - even though the weather has been freezing (but dry) with strong winds, the usual bike commuters are still doing their multimodal commutes on the #MBTA here in MetroWest.

For the 11 pm wave I was too cold and tired to travel far so I walked out to the local park. It’s pretty impressive to see the aurora even over the city lights! It flowed past us on its way to the south. I always expect it to be barely visible on the northern horizon.

I signed up for the NOAA email alerts after the solar storm of May 2024, and when the K Index reaches 7 to 8 the aurora seems to be visible at our latitude or beyond.

If you’re in a place with clear, dark skies there’s a good chance you can see the northern lights tonight!

Maybe it was all just a bad dream?

I think maybe The Hulk came by and smashed this portapotty at PJP2 Park?

Well, sometime over the weekend the TIE fighter was destroyed and the Ewoks have broken down their camp and moved on. Coincidence? Hmmm…

It’s nice to have sunlight again on the way to work this morning!

My cat says okay it’s eight o’clock, where’s my dinner? And here I am trying to explain that we changed the clocks so it’s not time to eat yet.

The cat says this is stupid.

After some digging… here I was returning from a trip to a conference in Orlando back in 2003 when I crossed paths with the former Senator and astronaut on an airport shuttle.

Oh. I don't have any connections to NASA, but I did shake hands with John Glenn at the airport in Orlando.

If you ride the trails in the Blue Hills Reservation be aware of the November hunting season schedule.

A permitted archery deer hunt will take place Nov 3–26 (Mon–Thurs only, excluding Thanksgiving) in designated areas.

Trails remain open — wear bright or blaze orange for safety. #mtnbike

I had yesterday off to work on a community event, so sometime in the past couple days the South Station fare gates installation opened up the first batch and shifted work sites to the next batch.
