Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln population counts

Rachel: Your 2010 / 2020 delta (489) is pretty darn close to the estimate Margaret Olson provided (407) for the impact of The Commons and Oriole Landing upon Lincoln’s population. Most of the remainder can be explained by Lincoln’s growth rate in recent years. (As a rule of thumb, the

[LincolnTalk] Round Up ends up in our drinking water

All Lincoln's drinking water comes from ground water. In spite of what the company says, research by independent labs finds Round Up continues being released as an exudate from the roots of plants sprayed. This then becomes part of our ground water and hence our drinking water. And yes, it

Hi Louis, We have gas heat but we've used Atlantic Heating and Cooling for years, even back when we had an oil-burning furnace in Brookline. Their website specifically says they do boiler repair as well as furnace repair (not sure of the difference myself!). https://www.atlantic-heat.com/ Alice

If you do decide to pull it out yourself you can wear a full wetsuit (like a surfer), latex or nitrile gloves under gardening gloves to protect yourself. Add a plastic face shield or safety goggles in case you accidentally rub your eyes. If you are very allergic like me, just don’t do it
