Local businesses in the strip mall adjoining the Ashland, MA Bank of America are grumbling about lost revenue and disruption because the bank overreacted to some bad clip art on an internal memo that was, unfortunately, truncated so that it looked like a “bomb threat” and not like a “corporate countdown” team-building document.  Also, no children were harmed in the evacuation of the strip mall. Faulty fax, mistaken as threat, prompts evacuation of stores – The Boston Globe A day-care center with about 30 children and more than a dozen small businesses in Ledgemere Plaza on Eliot Street were evacuated for…

Federal Quarantine for TB Traveler | Chicago Tribune There’s something about this person’s story that doesn’t smell right. Maybe it was ignoring doctor’s orders not to travel, and then “sneaking” back into the US via Canada because the CDC got involved. (tags: news TB quarantine)

The doings of the Texas Legislature have been newsworthy for years – remember when a bunch of them went AWOL to avoid the redistricting vote and effectively kill it? This time, even the Republicans have had enough with the autocratic, absolutist rule of Speaker Craddick. Since he’s blocking a maneuver to vote on vacating his chair – in effect, he controls whether or not a vote to oust him can take place, a spontaneous walkout took place in the wee hours. One legislator just suggested that anyone that would have voted to oust the speaker just walk out with their…

It’s been a long, exhausting day – I worked in the yard from about 10 am on until 730pm, with breaks for when I got too warm and wobbly, or to run errands. But I’m pleased with the results – almost all the mulching is now done, several new plants are in the vegetable garden, which for the first time ever will possibly have vegetables in a month or two, and the “kitty garden” has been dug out and replanted. I say “dug out,” because the lawn care guys so helpully cut back everything in there to the ground and…

If you don’t see this code, don’t panic! Just paste the code near the post metadata (author, date, comments, etc) or contact us for help. Don’t panic. You know where your towel is, don’t you? Did the same thing in the single post template.…
