  2. Friends, this is the time of year when I remind you that #BostonMA always needs poll-workers. You don't need to live in #Boston to be one, you just need to be a registered voter in #Massachusetts. Democracy doesn't work without elections, and elections don't work without poll-workers, so please consider signing up. Start at boston.gov/pollworker if you might be interested.

  6. GoodTherapy saying that New Hampshire and Providence, Rhode Island are both within 10 miles of Boston is actually *not* great for my mental health.

    Heard today that Boston, Massachusetts' seasonal snowfall is 108.6 inches (275.84 cm) at the moment. The previous record was set in 1872. So, if all the snow was on the ground at once, the ground floor of the buildings would be covered.

  11. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪼🌊 Lion’s mane #jellyfish, the world’s largest jellyfish species, have been appearing in unusually high numbers off #CapeCod since May 2026.

    Their bells can reach a meter across with tentacles over 30 m long, and they deliver painful stings. Experts suggest #water temperatures and #food availability may be driving the bloom.

  17. First Impression (t)

    Shari and I spent a couple of hours doing a quick look around. I was mainly looking for restrooms. The downtown area was amazing and warrants another visit when we can spend several days exploring. Walking down narrow streets with towering buildings was very cool!

  29. So, here's a situation where the #PingreeFarmRoad highway overpass, also on the #NorthShoreMassachusetts , already has a structure that could be transformed into a #WildlifeCrossing over a major highway, but it's falling into disrepair. I plan on contacting some organizations back in #Massachusetts to see what can be done to make this happen!

    Abandoned Interstate 95 Overpass (#GeorgetownMA)

    Hidden deep within the Georgetown-Rowley State Forest lies an abandoned overpass spanning Interstate 95 — a rusting, graffiti-covered bridge with a fascinating backstory dating to the 1970s.

    #BCT and Pingee Farm Road

    "This section begins by crossing Boxford Rd. and the bridge boardwalk over the Mill River. The BCT connects a variety of trails before emerging onto Pingree Farm Road. This old road crosses over Route 95 and is decorated with eclectic street art or graffiti - depending on your point of view. The trail continues west and then turns south merging at Hemlock Junction with the Border to Boston Trail and #EastCoastGreenway. It bypasses the Kelsey Arboretum on its way south into Boxford. This recording ends at the boardwalk across Lowe Pond because of technical difficulties. The hike actually continues through #BoxfordME, past Round Top and the monument for Camp Curtis Guild, the Boxford village cemetery, Boxford Center, the Boy Scout Park, Fish Brook, and Lockwood Forest before coming out onto Middleton Road. The total distance for this day is about 9 miles."

  31. So, I spent a LOT of my childhood playing in a "swamp" -- wetlands and woods near my childhood home, which included a #BeaverDam. Part of the area was an abandoned quarry and sandpit owned by Brock Industries. Once the quarry was posted, the area was able to return to its wild state. I was pleased to find out that the area was sold to a #LandTrust, and the old entrance to the sandpit is now the trailhead for the #BrandyBrowForest! I'm hoping something similar can happen with a local sandpit near conservation lands here in Southern Maine. I'm working on it!

    Let’s Hike Haverhill - Brandy Brow Forest - Myron's Road Trailhead

    "Using funds from the Drinking Water Supply Protection Program, in 2025 the city purchased and protected 41-acres as part of the larger 600-acre Brandy Brow Forest. Shortly after the purchase, the Myron's Rd Trailhead was created.

    City of Haverhill DPW Director Bob Ward will guide us through this vast area where the trails are mostly flat. We'll visit a 5-foot tall beaver dam along the way! "

    Opening day was this past May, 2026!

    Fleetfoot McCarney runs the Boston Marathon every year. He hasn't finished one yet. He gets distracted looking up at the buildings and usually runs into something that takes him out. Last year it was two guys dressed in a cow costume that ended Fleetfoot's attempt!
