3. Everything is okay in the Navy Yard. We had the in the Navy Yard yesterday, but it was and no one was hurt.

4. Comment of the day. A reader yesterday pointed out that the MBTA's bussing plan for shutting down the Orange Line begins on parade weekend--which triggered : "The MBTA bosses are too dumb to realize logistics. Shoot, they are millions in debt, yet they run buses with broken fare collecting machines. How are they supposed to collect fares when the machines are broken and even worse, the bus drivers let people ride for free?"
