JonMon lawsuit

[moechus.livejournal.com]

I have offered my help to a couple of people involved and earlier this evening I attended a meeting with a few people. I thought I should make my offer public to anyone who is involved. Feel free to contact me. In particular, if you got one of those obnoxious letters offering to settle, I would be happy to write a response to his lawyer (where I think the response should go, because I suspect his lawyer is unaware of these letters and they are highly improper).

By the way, I am a lawyer.

train noise and construction

[pekmez.livejournal.com]

Has anyone noticed that the train noise around the Davis/Ball/Teele Square end of Somerville seems much more pronounced lately? It seems to be perhaps connected to the preparatory construction on the train tracks. Lately I can hear the trains passing by in neighborhoods I didn't think were that close to the tracks, and the sound seems louder at my house a few blocks away than it used to be. The construction work has been cutting trees down here and there to make room for widening the track, and I know they are blowing the horns more, presumably to alert workers along the tracks when a train is coming... but I'm still surprised by how much more I'm noticing it. Is it just me?

(edited parenthetical comments below; thanks for pointing out the real 'noise' tag, Ron.)

(sorry for the silly tag, I mean those grounded airplanes with the purple stripes on them that run out to West Medford on the Lowell Line, and it made *me* laugh, anyway.)

(And now that I've tagged this properly with a general "noise" tag, or I can also snark about the idiots who just set off firecrackers on their front porch across the street. Sigh.)
