Parker Farms update

IF you read both Davis_Square and Parkerfarmcsa, you'll see this twice... sorry.

Hello all-Well,winter really is here-down to the single digits this morning as I went out to get my coffee-I actually happy that it is so cold,the firewood business has been a bit slack the past few weeks with the mild weather,now,with the mercury dropping the phone is starting to ring for orders-much needed as I rebuild from a devastating year.
In the meantime,I remain frustrated at my attempt to rebuild the mailing list so I can reconnect with all who participated in the 2009 farm share program-which is important as I have some important news regarding signing up for the 2010 season,as well as vouchers redeemable for produce that I want to distribute to compensate for the weather reduced yields of 2009.
So if you could please forward this note to friends who may have participated,post it on your blogs,myspace,facebook ect,I would appreciate it greatly.If you are getting this message it means you are already on the list and will be receiving the previously mentioned update,as well as all other news from the farm!
Thank you,and I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!-Steve

What will become of the Ball Square White Hen Pantry?

7-Eleven buys New England Pantry

I don't think this is good news for our neighborhood convenience store and deli: "The company anticipates that stores operating under the White Hen Pantry brand will begin converting to stores to the 7-Eleven brand in 2010."

Xmas Tree stand?

Where in the Davis Sq area could one get a Christmas-tree stand? particularly, one for a very small tree? Do they have them at CVS/Rite Aid?

thx!

Extra ticket for tonight's 8pm Slutcracker performance

 It's the 8pm performance at the Somerville Theater. I'm looking to sell it at face value ($20). I can arrange for a friend meet up with you in front of the theater at 7:45pm for the exchange.

Just to head this one off at the pass:

If you're on AT&T and your phone is even crappier than usual tomorrow at around 3PM, it's not Davis-exclusive, that's because a bunch of iPhone users across the country are running data-intensive applications to protest AT&T's crappy network. It's called Operation Chokehold. Enough people are angry about this, and AT&T's network is so stinkin' miserable, that it's going to make a dent. Just FYI.

Where's the knitting lady?

About a month ago, I came across a woman making lovely knit goods for sale outside the Holland St. Exit. I commissioned her (well, I asked her) to make my baby some mittens and booties, and she said they'd be ready in 2 days. I wasn't able to make it back for about a week, and ever since then I haven't seen her when I head to the square (which, admittedly, isn't all that often). Has anyone else seen her lately? Do you know if she has certain hours or days when she's there?

Moving sale: Bookcases, futon, dresser, media cart, TI-81, Thinkpad a21m

I live near Teele Square, a 10 minute walk from Davis. I'm moving to Seattle, and am selling some things so as to fit into one ReloCube. I would like for things to be picked up by Sunday. Links to listings below the cut.

Edited on 2009-12-19 to lower the price of the futon to $200 and the Thinkpad to $50.
