There was a Green Line accident this morning at Boylston Street, two trains collided and folks went to the hospital and all. The Glob online is running a story complete with a humonjus picture of an injured rider being taken out on a backboard right past a station decoration of the MBTA's cartoon Charlie mascot grinning and giving the thumbs-up.

On the one hand the irony of this picture is morbidly amusing, but on the other hand my god, my object empathy (which I described a few years ago) is flaring up something fierce.

I can't throw away any stuffed animals. And people were threatening one time at the Bruins game to throw these Johnny Bucyk figurines they gave away on the ice during a crappy call, I thought I would literally cry if they did. I know it's just plastic! But it has a face! How could you hurt Johnny Bucyk like that?
