You stay classy Dot….
Listen the last thing we need is a bunch of childish drama happening between the Baker and O’Toole camps. Are people passionate about politics here? Of Course…Is this one of the last bastions of Irish politics in Boston? You Bet… Are Dot Rats tough? Sure…..But …
Could you be this simple?
This guy lives on 11k a year and says he wanted to simplify his life. I like the idea, I mean how cool is it not to be tied down to a set of huge bills. But you gotta wonder….what if you find a cute girl you take an interest in and she wants to “come back to your place”. I’m not saying women are materialistic by default but the good majority want someone who can provide stability long term. Let’s face it, the mobile apartment doesn’t scream security. If this was 1976 then a shaggin wagon would be more of appealing for sure…. I mean think of how many frat pledges you could capture around JFK and UMass…..

Another Funky Jew Friday….
Matisyahu (Matt Miller) is the funkiest Hasidic Jew on the planet. The first time I heard this guy was in my car a few years back and I assumed it was some Jamaican dude. Then I saw a clip of him on the net….I was totally taken back. His …
The heating dilemma…
So it’s the time of year when you have to start putting more cash aside to fund terrorism…I mean…heat your home. Like many of us I use oil to heat my home…which is essentially red diesel fuel (I beleive it’s colored red for taxing purposes). I like the idea of gas….but I’m on the fence whether I want a company dictating my price. All fuel pricing is essentially dictated but at least you can shop a bit with oil.
If your a frugal DotRat like me and would rather put your extra cash into a vacation fund…. check out NewEnglandOil.com . Instead of locking in a contract with an oil company …. shop around for your next delivery.
Also…be aware that some oil companies are known for replacing the “dirty nozzle” on your burner with a new nozzle that makes your burner use double the amount of oil. Those nozzles have ratings…mine being a 1 GPH or gallons per hour. If you had me locked in a contract…wouldn’t you want my burner running a 2 GPH or higher? You would sell me more oil right? Be aware DotRats….
An ode to City Hospital…
Boston City Hospital has done incredible work over the years. We all know it as the BMC or Boston Medical Center these days. Fact is I would not be sitting here right now if it wasn’t for this hospital. Back when my dad was an …
