1. Objection to land swap/ location of new school

“…Over many years, the Lamb/Rotch family had donated and sold parcels of their land to build such things as the Blue Hills Observatory and the original Pierce School. This was their last 55 acres, the part where they had built their home, and they were very particular about which parts they wanted preserved…”

2. On “Thoughts and prayers”

“…These prayers from strangers out to Facebook abyss will never get to these parents or in anyway bring them comfort. So tuck those thoughts and prayers away for something else. Instead, do something. Do something meaningful so more parents get to watch their children dance around their house, play their cello, do the mundane nightly things like get their stuff ready for school tomorrow…”

8. East Milton traffic 4evah!)

“Trying to negotiate the traffic in East Milton square, from all directions was insane today. We truly need police to direct traffic or different light changes?

“This evening I was at Abby Park with nine of my girlfriends. We started chatting with two people at the table next to us. Come to find out we had a lot in common. It was a mother and son. He was treating her to a Mother’s Day dinner. They were so nice. We found out that the Mom treated us with a Mother’s Day drink on her. How nice was that ??”

10. A-hole kids will be a-hole kids, amiright?

“Two kids on bikes are riding down Brook Rd knocking peoples’ garbage and recycling bins over. All of the houses in eye sight are knocked over. Just a head’s up.”
