Local weather
by Marc Weiss 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

For the weather buffs in our neighborhood, I've installed a local weather station by our front porch. You can access the information at http://weather.theweissguy.com/. It is also available on Weather Underground here. <http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=Porter%20…> Comments and feedback would be welcome and appreciated. Note that wind data is not included. Impossible to get accurate measurements surrounded by trees and other buildings. M. Marc S.

I knew this vine was bad, but I hadn't thought about the inadvisability of putting it in the yard trash barrel. Ruth

Update on Black Bunny
by Tine Christensen 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hi All - Last week an email went out last week about a black bunny that was potentially a lost pet. I wanted to update you on the bunny story: he has been shivering in my open garage all weekend. I gave him some carrots, greens and water and some towels to burrow in and he definitely seemed like a pet (whether lost or abandoned) as he let me come very close and was quite friendly. This morning I called the Boston Animal Rescue League who referred me to the Cambridge Animal Control office. They dispatched an officer who confirmed that the bunny was a pet, caught him and they have dropped him off at the MSPCA where he will be evaluated by a vet and put up for adoption. Hopefully he will be much better off than he was - and at least he is not likely to caught by a predator. Tine

There's a black rabbit been seen often over the past few days. Don't know if it's wild or escaped, so we've been letting it be. But if anyone is missing one, let us know! Bill B.
