This morning's commute, by the way
Sep. 29th, 2004 07:31 pmHeadlines I saw in other people's newspapers on the commuter rail this morning:
"Teens Accused of Sleeping in Cottage."
"Crash Leads to Body."
"Emotional Finneran Bangs Last Gavel."
"Roman Soldier: Veteran is Still Going Strong at 36."
And several overwrought ones from the Globe travel section:
"Neither Land Nor Man Submit." [a little subject-verb agreement problem there]
"God and the River Will Provide."
"Seeking Heaven in the Barren Earth." (or similar; I didn't write it down)
When I got to North Station, I was met with the strangely affecting sight of construction workers holding a bake sale for a wounded comrade. I purposefully overpaid for a mediocre donut, but then they threw in two bags of chocolate cookies as well because they were closing the table down soon.
Naturally, there was a half hour wait for a B train. But at least I had cookies.
