RULE 1: In somerville nothing fixes itself, and nobody fixes anything. if it's going to get fixed at all, a little gnome will randomly walk out of a hole in your yard, wave a magik staff, and everything will be a-ok. I mean, really, the DPW has enough to deal with as it is.. what with the remodeling of the pit which calls itself East Somerville, the 6 days aweek of trash pickup, cutting down branches from perfectly good climbing trees, re-hanging the x-mas lights in davis square, street cleaning every other day, towing cars that don't need to be towed, fixing random potholes on "no traffic" streets and cruising around in those flashy orange pickups trying to impress girls.... they can't really be expected to fix one stupid little light on your street, can they? RULE 2: quit worrying about break-in's. slim to none chance of that happening if you got locked doors. people don't really bother with windows unless they KNOW you're not home. and if you're not home, and your windows are open, well... partly your fault.. :)
