Probable Lost Dog Sighting

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I didn't see anything on CL about this, and I've already called it in to 311. But in case it's relevant to anyone here:

On my way out the door this morning (near the intersection of Bay State and Broadway), I saw a frightened dog without a person in my front yard, crouching its way around the side of the house. It looked to be a short-haired Husky mix, though a bit smaller than a Husky. It was wearing a collar and I could hear tags jingling, but I couldn't get close enough to read them. The dog's posture was submissive but also on the defense. When I extended my closed hand to be sniffed, it chewed the air in a troubled way but wouldn't sniff. I got the impression it was seeking shelter from the rain.

It disappeared around the side yard to the back, and because I was already late for work, I didn't follow it. I think it would like to go home. If you've lost a dog that sounds like this, Bay State and surrounding streets might be a good place to go looking this morning.

House-cleaning suggestions?

I'm looking for a service to do monthly house-cleaning. I've already tried services that either don't read important instructions, or can't reliably show up or keep track of my house key. Anyone using a company they'd recommend?

Duct Cleaning

Can anyone recommend any duct cleaning companies and roughly how much such a service costs?

Midnight Madness?

Hi everyone!

Do y'all know if DARBI is doing its annual Midnight Madness sale again? I know it's usually the first Thursday in December, and I was curious to know if it's being scheduled again this year.

Thanks!

covered T-signs

I've been meaning to ask this for weeks, and I havn't seen anyone ask it here, so I'll assume that everyone but me already knows, but why are the T-maps covered in the station? It's in every station I've looked at, but it's only the maps that are on the walls on the other side of the tracks, not the ones that are in the area that people walk...

anyone know?

On Nov. 2, three days before the T starts conducting underground work on the Red Line that will close off portions of the tracks until March, riders will have the opportunity to sit and listen to project details and discuss them.

The MBTA has scheduled a Community Meeting where a project team will discuss temporary changes in service and ongoing construction.
