For #WIPWednesday I can finally show you a thing I did. It's done now, but we couldn't share the info before our lace competition.
This is #Motif1 of #RockportMA in fiber form.
The competition was a particular "red thread" to use. I went to Rockport one day and was struck by this famous red fishing shack, and that's how we got here.
I did not win this year, but I love these challenges. The other entries: https://nelg.us/page-1857737
The #MBTA red line was Chefs-kiss!
They're overlooked and could use a good cleaning / replacement to LEDs, but it's worth noting that the lights over the Red Line in South Station are #Swag. #MBTA #Boston #PublicTransitAppreciation

One of the best moments of the night was when we were passing a bus on Summer Street (the 7, I think) and got an extended series of short honks from the driver, cheering us on in her own way.
It's still #MBTA Driver Appreciation Month, and boy do I appreciate that Driver's encouragement.
Woah. Some actually positive news that could use spreading around:
For the first time in 67 years, the MBTA will, once again, go to Fall River and New Bedford, MA! We got some trains back!
Update: Bridge re-opened, but still significant train delays.

Petition to rename one of the terminii of the #MBTA Orange Line so the two opposite ends are no longer damn synonyms. "Oak Grove" and "Forest Hills"? What rocket surgeon made *that* brilliant decision?!
