Let's help Charlie!
A fellow Franklin commuter has started a new blog to complain about the service on the MBTA, in particular on the 715, or the 4:10 PM out of Boston heading to Franklin.
Charlie writes:
If I am catching an early train, I generally take the 4:30 to avoid the 4:10 for some of the same reasons. It is always crowded. It is an older train (so less comfortable). And a local version rather than the express that runs at 4:30.
He is soliciting for help in writing about the problems on the Franklin line. Charlie writes:
Charlie writes:
I've been riding the Franklin line daily for years, and all that time there has been terrible overcrowding on the homeward #715 train, departing South Station at 4:10 PM. I get on at Ruggles, and haven't been able to get a seat more than a few times a year. Nor am I the only one forced to stand - there are usually quite a few of us.
I've emailed the MBCR about the issue over and over. The response is always that there's more than enough seating, or that the train was short a car for some reason (in which case I get an apology - I've come to consider those worthless, though).
On Friday, 7/13/07 I counted 33 people standing in a single-level coach. A woman in the next coach had a medical emergency and passed out; unfortunately there were no conductors around, and it was so crowded that passengers were completely unable to pass down the aisle in search of a conductor. We ended up trying to pass the word down the aisle by shouting. It wasn't very effective; we couldn't reach a conductor for several long minutes.
Fortunately the ill woman's condition apparently wasn't critical. But if it had been, the delay caused by the overcrowding could have had serious consequences.

Troy is looking for your help
Troy Worman, one of the original Hitchhikers, co-conspiritor of the Blog Synergy, the guy behind the every changing template at Orbit Now has a request:
Orbit Now! has been in a constant state of flux from the onset, but this summer the situation deteriorated into a state of hyperflux… to the point of being counter productive.
So, I am asking for your help. If you are so inclined, please respond to the following 3 questions.
1. What do you like most about this blog or what would you like to see more of here?
2. What do you like least?
3. What would your recommend for a new name and tagline?Please click on over to his blog, check it out and provide an answer to his questions.
Thank you!
Jerry's Story
One of my new projects is recording the oral history of my father and his life in the middle of the Sherlock clan in Pawtucket. Growing up, I heard many of these stories but now I have the chance to hear new ones and to record them all for you to listen to.
Each recording is generally around 4-6 minutes. The longest thus far has been 10 and we have had a couple in just over a minute. We create the break at an appropriate spot in the conversation with Dad.
Take a listen. Got to Jerry's Story.

Franklin: Free Stuff on Summer St
Dolores and I did our "long" Sunday walk along King St, Summer St, Mount St, Upper Union and back to King St stopping at Dunkin Dounts for coffee to power the last half mile.
This bunch of free stuff is at the last house on the right as you go up Summer just before the I495 bridge.

Proulx Daughters: in good hands
3 of the 4 Proulx daughters got together for dinner on Saturday night. We went to 3, the new restaurant here in Franklin and had a great meal.

Ah, that's what he was doing
On Wednesday night, leaving the train station about 6:25 PM, driving home, I came around by the old town hall turning onto W Central St, I was surprised to see one gentleman, business casual dress holding a placard that read "Liar, Rep Vallee".
I wondered what that was about.
Today I had time to check back into the Milford Daily News to find this article.
Ah, that's what he was doing.

Amesbury considers an "underride"
Yes, someone in Amesbury thinks they can afford it. More power to them if they can.
From the Boston Globe's Override Central section, comes this article from the North Regional edition (free subscription maybe required)This marks the second time Amesbury has considered an underride. In 2001, a $1.5 million underride proposal lost by 19 votes at the polls.
The state Department of Revenue has on record only 14 underrides -- 13 of them successful -- since the advent of Proposition 2 1/2 in 1981.
Special Education Costs
I copied the listing as published by the Boston Globe and then sorted in declining dollar value to provide the following two lists (one in alphabetic order by district, the second by dollar).
I have also loaded this file to Google documents and shared it for anyone to view. You can find it here.
