Oh, yeah - a T party. The Boston civic transport system is call the “T” but I think you mean the other sort of T. I missed that one by a bit, but sometime remind me to tell you about the Great Molasses Flood that happened a bit later.

I’m afraid the Left Coast is WAY too liberal for me and mine but I once passed through the KC environs and thought it looked like a great shopping area (the Mission area off of Wornall Road IIRC).

TTYL ...

Yes, I have heard of the Great Molasses Flood...clocked for doing 35 MPH in a 20 MPH zone about ninety years ago. I never knew the Boston authorities were equipped with radar guns in the “Teens.”

Boston was getting cremated with molasses while Kansas City was starting to enjoy the “benefits” of the Cosa Nostra—Pendergast, the Sevillas, and (of course) Truman. Yes, THAT Truman.

The Mission district is kind of a cute area, but downtown is finally starting to show some life-so what if we were dead for thirty-five years. Well, better late than never.

Oh, speaking of transportation, how’s the “Teddy (Kennedy) Tunnel?” Didn’t it have a $2 billion budget which ended up about $10 billion over budget?

Boston seems to have a lot of redeeming qualities, but of course, you have the Kennedys and we have a mayor who told La Raza to go to hell. However, we also have dead Democrats who are still voting...and voting...whith a fresh four inches of snow surrounding their tombstones.
