There's a High Wind Warning today:

High Wind Warning
National Weather Service

... Damaging winds will occur this afternoon into the evening particularly across Cape Cod and the islands where they are expected to gust to over hurricane force for a few hours...

... High Wind Warning remains in effect until 11 PM EDT this evening...

Damaging north to northeast winds will develop across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island this evening. The strongest and most damaging winds will likely occur between 3 PM and 9 PM.

The strongest winds will occur across southeast coastal Massachusetts in the mid afternoon through evening hours. Sustained winds of 35 to 50 mph with gusts up to 70 mph are expected during the peak of the storm.

In the Boston to Providence corridor... southward to the Rhode Island coastline... sustained winds will increase to 30 to 40 mph with gusts as high as 60 mph during mid to late afternoon and evening hours. The winds will be somewhat less further inland...but damaging winds are still expected as far west as western Rhode Island and the Merrimack valley with the fully leafed trees in place.

A High Wind Warning is issued when sustained winds of 40 mph are expected for at least an hour... with gusts of 58 mph or greater at any time. Damage to trees... power lines... and property are possible with wind of this magnitude. Power outages are likely. Take action now to secure any loose outdoor objects.

CVS/Boston Sports Club Parking

Is there a designated parking area for CVS/Boston Sports Club employees/customers?  Or, will the opening cause more parking problems in Davis?  Although I'm hopeful that many people can walk there and I'm excited about their openings, I'm guessing that parking is about to get a lot harder to find in the Day St vicinity. 

Dentist

I'm trying to find a dentist - preferably in the Somerville/Cambridge area, but I have a car and am more than willing to drive.

My requirements:
1) Must be a good dentist. My teeth are TERRIBLE. I've had 3 root canals (I'm only 26!!) and expect to need another shortly. I've recently had one of my crowns break, so I need to get that fixed. I probably have cavities that need to be filled, but I don't even consider that a big deal anymore. In other words, if you're lucky enough to have never had a cavity, a glowing testimonial about how nice and pain-free your dental experience is probably won't mean much to me ;P
2) I need to be able to make an appointment before the end of the year, for insurance reasons.
3) My dental insurance sucks, so I'll probably have to pay for most of this myself. Cheap, or at least not overpriced, dentists preferred.
4) Good chairside manner would be a plus.

I've heard good things about Dr Cook but I think I need a dentist who has better availability (due to the huge amounts of dental work I tend to need.)

Thanks!

Someone asked about the store hours of the new CVS. They are now posted:

Main store: 7am - midnight every day
Pharmacy: Monday-Friday 8am-10pm; Saturday and Sunday, 8am-8pm

The "pharmacy" sign is now uncovered.
