Steve S. wonders what could possibly have been in the two Budget trucks that required a phalanx of Boston Police motorcycle cops to escort them as they turned onto Beacon from Charles a little after 11:30 last night.

Ed. Capt. Obvious note: Maybe they were just making sure they didn't get on Storrow Drive. Thank you, I'll be here all week.

Today's Globe story on the Beacon Hill cleaning lady states:

Because no charges had been filed by last night, the Globe is withholding the woman's name.

Which is understandable. But the story then gives enough details about the woman's professional life that any bored Web surfer with 10 minutes to spare could quickly determine her name and even her social-security number.

The Globe really needs to come into the 21st century: Either don't provide enough gratuitous details about the woman's life to make looking her up easy or just print her name.

Yes, I posted her name yesterday (thanks to the Globe for mentioning she lived on the fourth floor, which led to the Boston online assessing records, which, since she is an owner-occupant, yielded her name and then the resulting Google search). Should I have?

Jonah explores Villa Mexico, a burrito stand built into Grampy's Gas Station on Cambridge Street, across from MGH. He concludes:

[Y]ou will have a hard time finding a better grilled burrito in Boston than the one served at Villa Mexico.

A brand-new press release from the DCR:

DCR CLOSES INSIDE LANES OF LONGFELLOW BRIDGE TO ALL TRAFFIC

Agency also bans large trucks from the bridge

Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) officials today announced that effective Saturday morning, June 28, the inside lanes in both directions on the Longfellow Bridge will be closed to all traffic.

Also, all large trucks will be prohibited from the Longfellow, and will be detoured to other bridges across the Charles River. Cars, buses, and light trucks will continue traveling on the outside lanes of the bridge.

The Globe reports on state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson's desire to avoid another embarrassment like two years ago, when she, oops, forgot to file her nomination petitions on time. The paper writes:

This year, Wilkerson qualified for the primary ballot with a whopping 3,000 signatures, 10 times the amount she needed.

Not quite. As Linda Rodriguez at the South End News reports, Wilkerson actually only qualified with 428 signatures, just one more than her opponent, Sonia Chang-Diaz. This doesn't mean the remainder of her 3,000 signatures were bad, necessarily, just that elections officials stopped looking after a certain point.

Especially not on the Longfellow Bridge.

They might just decide to smash their moving van into the Longfellow Bridge and spill your belongings all over Storrow Drive. And then charge your credit card before you can file a claim against them.
