Tickets, not flakes, pile up in Somerville
By Brian McGrory and Laura Levis, Globe Staff and Globe Correspondent, 1/29/2004
Mayors in northern cities the nation over live in fear of the havoc that a snowstorm might wreak, not so much on their cities, but on their political careers.But in the city of Somerville this week, it took a decidedly different turn. Though the storm never came, the towtrucks and metermaids did show up, and the lack of snow has left a newly elected mayor explaining his actions to thousands of irate residents whose cars were ticketed or towed.
In short, Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone declared a snow emergency early Tuesday evening even while the skies and the forecasts were in flux. Within hours, with nary a flake in sight and barely any on the way, 3,000 cars were ticketed, and an additional 200 were towed. The tickets cost $50, and the tow jobs $145.

Balnearius Interruptus
Awww, i was in my holiday bath with a lovely bottle of wine, watching a great movie and doing girly things like mud masks and pedicures, when the water got cold, so i decided to add a warmup. Nothing. No water at all.
My hair is full of avocado butter.
i came downstairs to a burny smell. My landlord is in the basement welding pipes.
Did i mention that my hair is full of avocado butter?
Oh, well, i am grateful for motivation to go to the gym. Maybe i will sit in the steam room to warm up. And be happy that my house is not on fire.
All in memory of Dr. King, of course. He nailed something to a church door, right?
Just kidding.
