Bike boxes, black eyed susans and mellow stuff are contrasts to ghost bikes and feeling the need to check in. Friends, thank you for putting coherence and perspective to at least my feelings, particularly while cruising waining Summer Metro Boston. Maybe it is knowing we are still in August but September is looming. I'll stop short of a personal metaphor because my Summer years are back there a ways and I'm am not in Winter. I too feel the need to check in.
So far I am happy to enjoy your reports of Wayland and Melrose but am building for a late season swoop someplace. For now I'll report new pavement on Dover Road in Westwood, Pegan Hill Rd. from the Dover side is in construction so wait a couple of weeks to catch a view of Wachusett.
