Found Cat!

[evilcrayon.livejournal.com]

Found small grey and white cat in Winter Hill yesterday. Appears to be a house cat (no collar, very friendly, followed me around/inside).
Has anyone lost one recently or seen any fliers for a lost cat? Please let me know, I called animal control to see about checking for a chip but I'm pretty sure they're closed for the weekend.

Disgusted.

a few weeks ago, I was issued a parking ticket in the brief window of opportunity between exiting my car and obtaining a guest permit from my destination. On showing the permit in hand to the ticket writer who was still there, I was told "it took me a minute to write it. dispute it.", and they walked off. So, I've disputed it.

Today, I received in the mail a demand for payment saying that my dispute had been denied, and I quote, "Hearing officers cannot dismiss validly issued ticket(s), which conform, to the parking rules and regulations.".

Apparently policy is now, or perhaps may always have been, for there to be no grace period whatsoever in obtaining guest permits.

So, fair warning. Apparently Somerville expects nonresidents to have to cell phone ahead to destinations and have someone meet us curbside with a permit.

I'm thoroughly disgusted by this, and out $50 for being LEGALLY PARKED.
