Cambridge Police provide the feel-good road-rage story of the month: Around 3:30 p.m. yesterday on Cambridge Street, two motorists got into your basic Masshole traffic dispute, but one that ended a bit differently, at least after the police got involved:

Both parties shook hands and apologized for their actions and went on their way.

Their first encounter.

Oh, they do, they do. Overmatter reports on a full-bore rantfest at the Friends Meeting of Cambridge:

... Today a very sweet old lady stood up in the balcony to say how she had been comforted this morning by a simple bumper sticker that said something like, "Relax. Smile. God is in charge." And of course, a room full of Quaker Cantabridgians wasn't going to let THAT lie. Sure enough, a woman in expensive clothes stood up immediately and rattled off the first paragraph of every bad story on the front page of the Times today.....which led to lots of angry ranting about Israel, Israelis, and the media. ...

Or maybe the guy's just a Masshole. The story is set in Cambridge, where all raging-cyclist stories seem to happen these days. Cambridge Police report:

On 12/31/08 at 9:56 AM, a resident of Leominister reported that while operating her vehicle on Hampshire St., an unknown bicyclist became very irate and started yelling at her. While at a stop, the bicyclist then picked up his bike and started ramming it into the victims drive side door causing significant damage. The suspect then fled down Hampshire St.

Cambridge Police report that around 1:18 a.m. yesterday, two women were "victims of an armed assault by an unknown group of females" at Essex Street and Mass. Ave. and that around 3:11 a.m. yesterday, a man who got into an argument with a couple of guys on Broadway "sustained facial injuries" in the resulting fight.

Cambridge Police report a fire erupted at the Whole Foods on Alewife Brook Parkway around 2 a.m. on Dec. 26 when some firewood stacked outside the store somehow caught fire.

According to a recent anon post in another story here on Universal Hub, a man was struck and killed by the Red Line in Kendall Station yesterday night. I looked into it online and found only the following three lines as the fourth story in the "New England In Brief" section of the Boston Globe:

At about 8:30 pm on Friday, reports the Associated Press.
