A rat-averse citizen submits a photo of a pile of dead baby rats. He says he found all the rats in his car on Farrington Avenue (only click link if you wish to see a photo of a pile of dead baby rats):

There are so many. I have to kill them. They are nesting in my car. Someone needs to fix this so I don't have to keep murdering baby rats.

Good Morning Gloucester has numerous exclusive photos, should you have the desire to see a dead whale on rocks; wonders if somehow it's the same whale body that briefly washed ashore on a couple of islands in Boston Harbor. WBZ reports that yes, that is the former Boston Harbor whale carcass.

'Don't blame me, I'm from Massachusetts'

George McGovern, the Democratic presidential nominee in 1972, has died, age 90. Of course, he had a unique tie to Massachusetts - we're the only state that voted for him then (as did the District of Columbia).

Either it really flooded along the Charles this morning or Jesus drove a Mini Cooper

Mini Cooper in water

Photographynatalia took this photo along the Head of the Charles route this morning. She writes:

It was some kind of modified Mini Cooper that was out on the Charles River during Head of the Charles. I'm assuming it was some kind of promotion for the company.

Dot dog disappears

By adamg on Sat, 10/20/2012 - 2:07pm

UPDATE: Logan the labradoodle back with owners, safe and sound.

Missing dogLogan, a year-old mini labradoodle, was last seen around 3:45 p.m. yesterday at Tenean Beach.

He has an olive drab collar with a neon orange stripe. He's small, maybe 20 lbs., and dark brown.

Also: " He spent the night outdoors in the rain, and we're not sure how he's doing. He's pretty skittish, and at this point, is most likely terrified."
