The MBTA should just announce major delays on all lines now and save us the suspense.

Good To Know.

My second crop peas and mustard greens are pretty hardy, so am not worried about them. Maybe will cover the lettuce, though.

Whenever I hear the term "killing frost", I think of Dave Barry's Bad Song Survey, which for some reason has stuck with me ever since reading it in an actual newspaper in '93.

Many readers are still very hostile toward the song "Wildfire," in which singer Michael Murphy wails for what seems like 97 minutes about a lost pony... Voter Steele Hinton particularly criticized the verse wherein "there came a killing frost," which causes Wildfire to get lost. As Hinton points out: "... `killing' in `killing frost' refers to your flowers and your garden vegetables, and when one is forecast, you should cover your tomatoes. . . . Nobody ever got lost in a killing frost who wouldn't get lost in July as well."

Memories!

I remember that article. #1 worst song was "Macarthur Park".
