What we know about COVID-19 cases at Boston College

Following an uptick in coronavirus cases last week, Boston College will now have its contact tracing handled by state officials as concerns grow about the institution’s ability to sufficiently test for and contain the contagious virus. The team of tracers takes over the reins this week, setting...

Yep, it's idiots not taking this seriously especially in schools and whathaveyous that if they're the ones leading us into a 2nd shutdown, we're all gonna be bumming big time! Thanks to these clowns.

What about this, bro? Just got tweeted! Can you believe it?! I guess I can but it just goes to show you we are nowhere near being out of the woods, yet. The jackass in the Whitehouse is easy to see why he got it with how ridiculously undisciplined and careless he and the white house COS have been, and in this case, here, I doubt there was much carelessness but such a contact sport is almost impossible not to get infected. Question is, was it from the field or off the field? Locker room or private area? He doesn't have his family here with him since it's just a 1-year contract so he wasn't going to buy a house and move them and the kids and school and all that. Not sure where he's staying but that could be another source. Either way, for selfish reasons, this sucks big time just when we thought this team looked great and had effectively replaced those HUUUUGEAH shoes left behind by the G.O.A.T., then this slap in the face!

A shocker: Maryland star Len Bias dead just two days after being drafted by Boston Celtics in 1986 NBA draft

(Originally published by the Daily News on Friday, June 20, 1986; written by Paul Needell) The basketball world was sent reeling yesterday by the shattering news that 22-year-old Len Bias, the form…

@Gomig-21 growing up in Boston there was always some kid on the block with the drumset practicing...usually repetitively to the worst songs.

So today in the 'burbs there's somebody with the drumset...I think outside...going at it. However he's playing Talking Heads songs...LOL..kind of funny. Must not be some teen. Sounded pretty nice too.

Seemed like some surreal movie being outside mowing the lawn with this song in the background.

Maybe Michael Douglas will walk by with the shotgun.

Oh my goodness, I hope not! Len Bias and Reggie Lewis died sudden and unexpected deaths due to unfortunate drug use, at least Len did but it was very surprising to hear that about Reggie Lewis knowing how he played like an Allstar for what, almost 10 years before his untimely death? And that it happened because of a rapid heart rate due to excessive cocaine was a huge shocker. I'm curious why you would think that Cam Newton is headed in that direction, bro?! Unless I misunderstood what you were trying to say?

Hahaha, you had one of those in your neighborhood? lol. Well, I was a member of the Jazz Rock band in high school and we also had our own rock & roll band called Blackheart. We played pubs and a few school side gigs like during assemblies and sports events and things of that sort, so I was exposed to a lot of drumming in that respect. Plus the drummer in our band and I both came here and enrolled in Berklee College of Music. That was a fun bit of time but I quickly outgrew that whole scene.

Speaking of drum beats, I just saw this the other day and how ironic the way it relates to your post about drumming and the way Len Bias and Reggie Lewis died is that Mick Fleetwood plays a very cool drum beat in one of Fleetwood Mack's greatest hits "Go Your Own Way" and you can see what he does with the double stick on the 4th beat AND, according to an article (I think it was in Rolling Stones magazine) that this guy spent $60 million on cocaine in his lifetime while with Fleetwood Mack LOL! Imagine that?! Crazy bastard. One heck of a beat and tune, though!

Look at the size of some of these great white sharks coming to Cape Cod, bro. It's no wonder that Stephen Spielberg chose Martha's Vineyard as the setting for JAWS back in the mid-70s. Although I'm not sure there was any recorded shark activity around that area during that time frame, it certainly makes for an amazing coincidence, though, when you look at all the great white shark activity happening in the Cape in the last 10 years or so and the size of some of these fish. This is truly remarkable as much as it is scary! That's Greg Skomel's 22ft boat (without the pulpit) where he uses to spear tags into those sharks.

It seems whenever a star player retires and we bring in a replacement guy who looks like the savior we need to keep the team from regressing into years of losing records...he goes and drops dead.

Wow! Never expected to hear you were in a band..good for you!

Ugh, Ant, you know this place? Terrible to see another landmark (well, for us Northshore people) bite the dust to covid and get replaced by yet another Amazon dist. center. Sad because this was our go-to theater (whenever we went) and they had the flee market on the weekends which was always part of its lure. That parking lot was huge and the location makes it prime real estate for sure. But really sad to see another one of those places succumb to this crap.

Is this the big 4D IMAX theater complex across the street from Squire's? I always thought that theater was super popular. Really wanted to check 4D out with the kids (rather not that theater though).

That's the one. I forgot the Squire was in that vicinity also lol. But that didn't have any affect on the theater or anything like that. A lot of matinee features and family theater events etc. The 4D IMAX was a great thing and hard to believe it's shutting down. We're definitely going through some form of serious readjustment & alignment process or something.

Never been in that theater. People have told me it is really really nice. However I always heard the Friday and Saturday night crowds can be rough from my Revere friends.
