I had to clean out my office and most of the library because they’ll be filming the new Zendaya and Robert Patterson movie in our spaces today. Zendaya will be using my office as she works in a fictional publishing house.

OK, class, we can settle down again. the NWS now says that while we'll be getting a storm Thanksgiving, "confidence is high the coastal plain will see mainly rain," and that means the Greater French Toast Region, which extends nowhere near areas that might actually see snow, like the higher elevations in the Berkshires. But we'll stay at 2 Slices/Guarded for just a bit longer, just in case.
On my return I also checked out the new extension to Arlington St. that runs to the highway overpass, leading straight onto Tremont.
I was a little nervous about what the contraflow at Marginal Rd. would be like, but the signal timing means that you're riding the contraflow while the only oncoming traffic would be from right-turns at Tremont (which I think are illegal). Also pretty good, a handy way to get home from the Esplanade that is more direct for me.
I haven't seen much Fediverse chatter from #Boston folks about the Dartmouth Street project, but I routed tonight's ride onto the Esplanade that way, and the two-way lane is now present between Commonwealth Ave. and Back St.
Paint and flexposts only, no concrete barriers yet, but still a major improvement over what it used to be.
No contraflow at Back St. yet but my understanding is that's the eventual intent.
The sun will rise in #Boston #Massachusetts tomorrow at 6:47, 69 seconds later than the day before.
It will set at 16:15, 32 seconds earlier than the day before.

Who's dreaming of a white Thanksgiving? Forecast not set in stone, but the NWS is talking about possible snow Thanksgiving into Black Friday, and they're mentioning the dreaded 40/70 benchmark, so might want to throw some extra bread, milk and eggs in with your turkey shopping, just to be safe.

Boston isn’t so bad. Random people intervened in this hate crime on the T and the bigot (Gregory Burnett, 53) has to wear an ankle monitor while awaiting trial.

Two photos of the frigate USS Constitution in Boston Navy Yard, taken 50 years apart.
One is this month with the USS Nantucket, a "littoral combat ship" that's sort of a modern frigate, except not as well designed.
The other was in 1974 as the Constitution underwent a major rebuild and I talked my way into a tour by the commander. Asked whether he liked the job, he said it was much better than his previous tour of duty in Vietnam.
In the Boston Navy Yard, the USS Constitution fires her 8am cannon.
Yes, the blast of air shakes the video.
