Busy, Busy Day

Three things:

First, five people were sitting right behind Barack Obama last night during his appearance at the World Trade Center in Boston: Ted and Caroline Kennedy, Deval Patrick, John Kerry, and Lisa Wong. How does this happen? We're working on it, and we're also working on getting a screen grab, to prove we're not crazy. More on this later, I think.

Second, today, of course, is primary day. Go vote. Throw on your raincoat and do your civic duty. And don't forget to sign the petition for charter review. It's your duty.

Third, a federal agency today is recommending funding for commuter rail improvements. You can read a little bit more, and get a link to the agency's report, at the Fitchburg Pride website.
