MBTA bus #80 wrecked by drunk bus driver

[ron_newman]

Last Friday evening at Medford St. and McGrath Highway, according to the Herald:

An allegedly boozed-up MBTA driver with nearly 30 years on the job and an open bottle of vodka in his pocket slammed a No. 80 bus into a car at a Somerville stoplight and is facing drunken-driving charges for the rush-hour wreck, according to police.
...
John McCarthy, 61, of Somerville was arrested Friday night and charged with operating under the influence of alcohol and an open-container violation.

McCarthy could not stand up straight, had trouble speaking and reeked of booze, Transit Police said.

“I escorted Mr. McCarthy out of the driver’s seat and as he got out of the seat he started to stumble and had trouble maintaining his balance,” an officer wrote in the police report. “McCarthy’s speech was distinctly slurred and he could not answer my questions until I repeated the question multiple times.”

tell me there are some white wolf aficionados out there...

I've got an assortment of White Wolf gaming books dating from the 1990s that I'd like to sell. All are in good shape (i.e., bindings are firm, not much wear) except as noted below. My name is in most of them, but there are very few (if any) other marks. $100 for the lot, or $10 for hardback / $5 for soft cover if bought separately. I strongly prefer one buyer for all, since these have been sitting around in my house being in the way for over 6 months now.

( clicky for list )

and what's up with no larping, or rpg, or gaming tags in DSLJ, anyway?

Anyone recycling cooking oil into Bioidiesel?

My googling hasn't come up with a solution to dispose of some cooking oil, other than throw it in the trash.  I know it can be converted to biodiesel.  Know of anyone local doing this that would take small quantities of oil to recycle?
