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.

Do you bike a substantial portion of your commute and don't receive any compensation for public transit or parking compensation from your employer?

The Blue Mass. boys talked to Deval Patrick yesterday about sealing wax and things and Jim Aloisi. Patrick explains why he picked the lawyer who helped give us the Big Dig in its current configuration to reform transportation in the state. Among other things:

... One thing that is helpful to me is that he knows where the bodies are buried. And you know, the sad reality is that we have to dig up a lot of those bodies, and bury them properly. ...

Recession? Feh. The cost of deeded parking spaces went up last year in the sorts of Boston neighborhoods that have such things.

Just not by choice.

Aside from the whole entitlement thing, I'm left wondering what this small thing (maybe 18 inches high) is normally used for. Dual Tinker Toys holder?

Enid O'Donnell reads about the plans to shut the West Newton turnpike ramp, at least temporarily, and wonders what in the world the turnpike authority was thinking. She e-mails:

This is just outrageous - the traffic back up is not because of people entering at Route 16 eastbound, but rather due to all of the people trying to get off on exit 17 Newton Corner to cut over to Charles River Road and Storrow Drive!!! Have they ever tried to navigate the "circle of death" in the morning commute? I enter from Centre Street and attempt to get on the Mass Pike - a straight shot you should think - but with the daily buses stopping on the right, and the right lane turning into a right turn only lane, maneuvering into even one lane to the left is a nightmare!!! A better option if they were really concerned about traffic would be to prevent people from exiting at exit 17 - I don't think they're concerned about traffic at all - just concerned about how much money they are losing by not charging those people who are avoiding the Weston tolls. This is just punishing the citizens of Newton and will create even more backup at Newton Corner.

Unless you want to get a flat from all the broken glass left behind from an accident earlier today.

The Globe plays Snopes and reports the Registry is NOT calling them back in.
