Arrived home last night & found this majestic raptor staring me down from my fence. Had just secured its dinner. I'm told it's a Mountain Hawk, anyone know? #Rats #Raptors #Dorchester

#MeteorSighting: Eyewitnesses in New England and @NOAA’s GOES-19 satellite reported a bright fireball on Saturday, May 30, at 2:06 p.m EDT accompanied by a loud noise. The meteor appears to have fragmented at an altitude of 40 miles over northeast MA and southeast NH. The energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT, which accounts for the loud noise.

Eyewitness accounts supplied by the American Meteor Society.

Bobby Kilduff was one of our best.

For 24 years, Bobby served the people of Boston as a fire fighter, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He was a Marine, a Jake through and through, and part of a family dedicated to serving others on and off the job. (1/3)

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Robert T. Kilduff who tragically killed in the line of duty tonight at a 3 alarm fire on Treadway Road. May he rest in peace and always be remembered.

Pardon. Typo. MA-8th Congressional district. Not 7th...

[WriteHandMan @WriteHandMan]

The @BTU66 has endorsed challenger Patrick Roath of JP in the 7th Congressional over incumbent Congressman Steve Lynch of Southie. Roath has outraised Lynch in fundraising so far too. Both facing off in Sept. Democrat Primary.
