Yes, I came here for the news links because it is way too mind boggling to try and sift through the internet.

Also, according to my co-worker who never met a conspiracy theory she didn't love, we are all damned fools because he has been dead for years. She will happily give us links to follow with the proof. We usually try not to get her started, but today it is hard to not discuss the news.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Rush. Limbaugh.

My first reaction was whoa, but I think meara's right, we need to hear the audio to see if he actually meant it.

Of course, the analysis on NPR was basically: Obama can get a couple weeks of good press out of this, but not much else. But if it had gone badly, we'd never hear the end of it.

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, so the kid who delivered my lunch randomly launched into this spiel that he wouldn't believe that Osama was dead until he saw a picture of dead Osama.

Boston Questions!

What do we think a taxi from South Street Station to House of Blues/Fenway Park would cost me?

What do we think a taxi from Hynes Convention Center to House of Blues/Fenway Park would cost me?

(i.e. is it worth taking the T for that first leg)

And finally, how DOES one get a cab in Boston? Is this a hailing procedure or does it involve a phone call?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have not watched it.

Trudy, you can easily walk from Haynes to Fenway in like 20 minutes or less. I've walked it lots of times.

(It took 20 minutes in snow/ice conditions.)

It's a nice, flat, sidewalk-ed route? My on-the-mend feet still have me a bit wary.

I'd say in the $20 realm, but it's been a long time since I took a cab in Boston so it might be more. The T would be cheaper, but it would involve switching trains at Park Street (Red to Green; Green to Hynes stop, or Green to Prudential, which is connected to the Hynes, if you get on an E train instead of B, C or D). Time of day will determine how long either take, but if it's anywhere near rush hour they're both going to take a while.

No major hills, and there are sidewalks. I don't know if there's any construction going on around there though.
