magidAs so many have noted, Lloyd Alexander died yesterday. He will be missed.
Four Congresscritters are trying a week of living on the dollar equivalent of food stamps, $21/week. Representative McGovern and his wife are blogging their experience. Yes, a PR stunt, but a worthwhile one.

The Cambridge eruv is down this week: an electrical pole that was used as a lechi (or had a lechi on it; I'm not sure which) has gone missing, and they couldn't figure out a workaround that could be done before Shabbat. I hope something can be done by next Shabbat. And I'm glad it's not an issue on Shavuot.
