@bill_shaner Not cool

[Colin Novick @cascadingwaters]

@mdean1990 @GWLandTrust Funds are statutorily limited to three narrow uses, & disbursements are limited by further rules, & all must be approved by an appointed commission. That's pretty impressive as a series of gov safeguards. Probably nothing will be satisfactory, but I am impressed with the setup

@ChrisPetersonTG As long as you can't make out what's on the ballot

[Colin Novick @cascadingwaters]

@MilesPerHoward I have hiked it, and Rick Miller of The Friends of Newton Hill is a pretty good authority on the trail.

@AerLingus Thank you

[Colin Novick @cascadingwaters]

Trying add a 3rd bag to an @AerLingus flight Monday EI137 DUB -> BOS.
Website "manage my trip" can't do it. Facebook messenger agent can't do it. Call center hold at roughly 2hrs now. I just need to add a bag. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[Colin Novick @cascadingwaters]

@AerLingus I do appreciate the apology, but your call center staff need attention. Hanging up on a customer after they waited on hold for two hours isn't "miscommunication."

[Colin Novick @cascadingwaters]

@AerLingus The call center attendant told me I didn't need to add a 3rd bag to the ticket and hung up before I could speak.
The confusing part, aside from the hang up, was that a couple of weeks ago a call center attendant let me add a 2nd bag and charged me for it, so this makes no sense.

Nantucket made the extraordinary choice to ban fertilizers in a last ditch effort to save their eelgrass - scallop ecosystem. It was a complicated choice, but they found it to be worth it, & the dark question is whether the MA state legislature will allow them to try to save 1/2

[Colin Novick @cascadingwaters]

@KateMerrill Bring It!

[Colin Novick @cascadingwaters]

@bill_shaner Also, think of Boston, they until fairly recently, had 5 parks departments:
- Boston Public
- MDC
- MA DCR
- NPS
- & TTOR's nonprofit additions

At the same time Worcester had arguably almost 2:
- Worcester Parks
- A couple MA DCR facilities

This is how capital cities benefit.

@bill_shaner Here's a trick, I learned it from a friend from Providence. They POURED money into the downtown core like there was no tomorrow, & starved infrastructure of the neighborhoods to do it. Providence is great for visitors & folks who live @ the central district, but sucks further out

Bobcat just walked through Cascading Waters, from Cook's Pond to Cascades Park. Came within 3' of the Lodge.
