I enjoyed this well-edited video about Boston's runner culture, problems with the T, and the Charlie Card Challenge race in which a group of 150 runners see if they can outrun the green line over a 6.6 mile stretch from Boston College to Park Street.

I voted early and was curious to see if my ballot was counted, apparently you can use the mail in ballot tracker to check your status if you voted early, idk if it works if you voted today.

I found a guide for some CA utilities, and for Eversource in NJ when a property is vacant, but haven't found any references for Eversource in MA. Curious if anyone has experience, but I'm planning to call them soon.
