Query: how long before a restaurant's stated closing time do you assume the kitchen closes? (Does it depend on the kind of restaurant? If so, in what way(s)?)

Upcoming: the annual midnight ride (overnight architectural bike tour of Boston), August 18, meeting at 11:15 P.M. in Copley Square.

Update on the fire door incident in the Arlington T: the door that broke is still without glass, and both doors are tied open with rope. So much for that fire door thing.

Thing that should not be: a house with 36 bedrooms (but only 34 bathrooms. wah wah wah.), a 10-car garage (with 9 staff bedrooms above it), that is not for a school or some such thing, but a family (hopefully a rather extended one...). According to NPR last night, the price has now dropped to only $40 million. (And there are multiple homes on the market for over $100 million. Ouch.)

I saw a Cambridge Traffic and Parking vehicle yesterday, which started me thinking about why in this case grammatical parallelism doesn't work. Neither "Traffic and Park(s)" nor "Trafficking and Parking" cover the same areas of responsibility.

Most difficult fast day on the Jewish calendar today (for me, anyway). Breakfast after 8:55 tonight.
