a strikingly decent use for the marquee tag for once

The scrolling LED sign by the fare gates at South Station used to helpfully tell you the time, which was useful when you were coming up the escalator from the platforms below and your cellphone doesn't like telling you the time if it can't get a signal ("Hey, if I can't get my signal, you ain't getting your time.") However, since Thursday (at least) it has been replaced with a scrolling message, which I shall attempt to reproduce verbatim below:

"Did you know that sign's got a spelling error on it?" I asked one of the gate attendants on Thursday. She took a look, read the sign as it scrolled by, and snorted.

"Figures," she said.

We're all in this together.

Hey, have some pictures from this weekend and last:

Cold March in Boston Snow and statuary and some kind of metal thing I don't know what

Hey, you should report that under the "See Something, Say Something" program. Could be a coded message to terrorists.

(They're spending their mooninite money to beef it up. Surely I cannot be the only person clutching her head in pain.)

Yeah, I saw that news article too today. My first thought was "Yeah, and look how well that turned out!"

Also, there's an ad they're running on the T where a superimposed woman is looking slightly askance at a Mysterious Square Package Undeneath A Bench.

I so want to go up to every ad I find and draw a little Mooninite on each Mysterious Square Package.

EVERYBODY SHOULD.

I saw those when I was in town. I nearly did.
