Getting around
You'd think that three or four days after the snow stopped, it'd be possible to get around, right? On principle I took the T to Wellington last night and walked home, only to discover that, in true form, the %!@$ing MDC has done nothing to clear the sidewalks along 28 between Wellington Circle and 93. So walking home from the T involved lots of trudging through the snow. Separately, while the 95 is running more-or-less on schedule, the CT2 has been 15-20 minutes late both yesterday and today. With GPS-enabled busses, shouldn't the T be able to tell you at least where the next bus is, even if they can't guess how long you have to wait?

This has happened consistently the past three days, btw. Maybe I'll just start taking the 85 instead. I kind of wish there were a number you could call that would tell you "the 12:14 CT2 will not be running. The next bus on this route is the 12:44. Thank you. For riding. The T."

One third of my SEVEN MILE commute last night was getting from Concord Ave at double-donuts to the Minuteman. My choices were (a) bike double-donuts followed by rush-hour Alewife Brook Parkway overpass; (b) carry bike over unplowed sidewalks (or plowed sidewalks obscured on four sides by 2-to-8-foot snowdrifts) and walk over ice-covered bridge. Finding (a) not to my liking, I was stuck with (b) and DOOMED...
