Snow in May? It's Happened Before -- Here Are the Numbers Here are the records for the latest dates for snowfall in these New England cities.

I don't consider us safe from snow in Boston until about mid-May. (And look up the April Fool's blizzard of 1997, too.) www.nbcboston.com/news/local/s...

He's a good example of the fact that attending an Ivy doesn't mean you'll actually learn anything there

He’ll probably establish it himself, like his β€œBoard of Peace” that’s supposed to be better than the UN

I was surprised at the Catholic undergrads at the Catholic university I went to for my English MA in the late 90s who were unfamiliar with St. Sebastian!

I did the Miralax-Gatorade prep and it was mostly boring, really.

Also "functions like a real medical practice," similarly to how kids pretending to be doctors "function like a real medical practice"

Could Italy arrest ICE and drop them off at the Hague for crimes against humanity? (I know it's a different division from the thugs committing extrajudicial killings but that would be kind of amazing if Italy pulled that off.)

I'm still mad at Martha Coakley for the political malpractice she committed in losing that election to Brown

How a billionaire with interests in Greenland encouraged Trump to acquire the territory US president’s friend Ronald Lauder – who first proposed Arctic expansion – is now making deals in the island

Also, fyi, Ronald Lauder is pushing Trump on Greenland. Lauder companies include Aveda, Le Labo, Origins, and the Ordinary, so boycotting them is a good idea. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I'm not a gourmande girlie, but to reinforce the l'Occitane idea, the Almond Shower Oil line is ridiculously good.

I have a legendarily terrible sense of direction which makes it even worse. One time, pre-GPS and during the Big Dig, I tried to get to Newton from Harvard Square and ended up at Logan. But then once I was there I knew how to get where I wanted to go!

I'm guessing you've set up a search with alerts if they show up on eBay, yes?

Most *white* Americans. Most minorities in America definitely have a good idea how dangerous it is.

Years ago one of my roommates brought an iRobot Scooba home for a robotics class project and it was amazing at cleaning the trashed kitchen floors after a party. We asked if she really needed to return it at the end of the semester
