I live along the Upper Yukon, 4 miles from the Canadian Border and our road has 20 foot of snow on it 7 months a winter, closed; we are somewhat isolated; good and bad. I couldn't imagine living in an area where I had a gun on me for anything other than bear.

My Nephew caught a Celtics game and was with friends he had went to school with; was walking to his car when they jumped him. He almost didn't make it and was in hospital for 3 weeks, still has problems; can't ever play sports again, hearing problems, ect. My sister told me it happened in a tourist area, not a Blk Ghetto; but I've never been in Cambridge. I spent a week in Boston once, 30 years back, had a great time in Fanell Hall Area; didn't seem like a dangerous place; always wanted to go back again.

When the economic problems hit the fan someday down the road; it will only get worse. I plan to live out my days right here along the Yukon, quite secure once you get accustomed to the cold winter weather. It was minus 39 when I got up this morn.

“When the economic problems hit the fan someday down the road; it will only get worse.”

You bet; sounds like you’re in a safe place. Good for you!

“...but I’ve never been in Cambridge.”

You’re not missing anything. I live next to it and ignore it’s existence.

“I spent a week in Boston once, 30 years back, had a great time in Fanell Hall Area; didn’t seem like a dangerous place; always wanted to go back again.”

Fanuiel Hall is nice; it’s been redone since you were there.

Prayers for your nephew and stay warm.
