[LincolnTalk] Black LLBean Women's Large Jacket Missing After "Top of the Town"

[Fred Hopengarten]

Dear Seniors:
 
At the conclusion of Saturday Night's Top of the Town event at Nashawtuck
Country Club, my wife went to put on her coat but noticed that the coat
located where she had left her jack was an LL Bean Black Men's Large,
instead of her LL Bean Black Women's Large.
 
If you got home and discovered that the jacket you were wearing was too
small for you, please contact us privately so that we can effect an
exchange.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Excellent story on the housing crisis, affordable housing & zoning

[Fred Hopengarten]

If the claim is that Edward Glaeser “left the Harvard Econ faculty,” that would 
be at odds with https://scholar.harvard.edu/glaeser/home, which says:

Edward Glaeser is the Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics and the 
Chairman of the Department of Economics at Harvard University, where he has 
taught microeconomic theory, and occasionally urban and public economics, since 
1992. He has served as Director of the Taubman Center for State and Local 
Government, and Director of the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston.

Ha!
Glazer… every developer’s favorite economist!

I believe, in fact, he left the Harvard Econ faculty to join the ( pro free- 
market/ pro development) Rapport Institute at the Kennedy School.

Gary Taylor and I monitored, with grave concern ( back in the day)his efforts 
to undue local zoning that stood in the way of development.
We wanted to maintain our progress move, deliberative approach to creating more 
housing opportunities and more affordable housing ( 2 different, but not 
mutually exclusive things).

Glazer’s efforts are finally bearing fruit, and we are struggling to manage 
change, as we have always done.

I find it interesting that people concerned that we would not be adding enough

Re: [LincolnTalk] Community Center - more in-depth analysis and observations. Is it time for a course correction?

[Fred Hopengarten]

Did I miss it, or has no one yet quantified useful spaces at St. Anne’s, the 
Stone Church, St. Joseph’s and Codman House, nor mentioned whether or not they 
have kitchens that could be used to feed groups.

Plus, there are comparable churches in Wayland and Concord, or the 
congregations of Temple Shir Tikva, Congregation Or Atid and the Islamic Center 
of Boston in Wayland, as well as Kerem Shalom in Concord – all of which have 
gathering spaces, chairs, public address systems, and commercial kitchens, and 
all of which have unused time in their gathering spaces.

I’d bet ALL of those religious communities would welcome a bit of rent that 
would be less expensive than the interest costs of bonding a major new facility 
in Lincoln.

Must a COA staffer be present for all COA and community activities? Is the 
over-65 crowd not capable of governing its own meeting? Is a baby-sitter 
necessary? Are these places not good enough for Lincolnites?

It seems to me there is no lack of community spaces within five miles or 10 
minutes of Donelans.

I have been using COA programming for years…15 or so.
I have enjoyed multiple programs in multiple settings.
How was it possible then, but not now?

Perhaps there needs to be better space for social and health services, and even 
administration, but we need to continue with the use of programming in multiple 
locations-spaces and locations used in the past, locations that would be of 
good use for the future.

We need to be flexible and creative.

With regard to the COA using various locations for their programming, the

aspects of their jobs. Their jobs cannot be well done if they are running from 
site to site to manage programming. And Bemis is inadequate for the needs of 
the senior citizens -- access to the building, bathroom facilities (the 
handicapped bathrooms are in the basement and the large group programming is on

Ruth Ann - I can’t speak for others, but I am not disagreeing with the location 
of the proposed community center.  I agree if one was to be built, the Hartwell 
location is the optimal one.

I am disagreeing that we need a community center at all.  I don’t think we 
should build one.  Instead I think we should replace the current “pods” with 
new ones to accommodate LEAP and PRD. Keep the existing locations and modestly 
expand the footprints. Upgrade the other existing facilities to the extent 
needed to accommodate our current programming.

That solution is perhaps $5-8m and accomplished all of the mission critical 
objectives.

Candidly, looking at the actual list of programs there are only nine (9) things 
on there that can’t continue to stay where they are.  And those nine things 
don’t even close to justify the construction of a new building, in my opinion. 
I’d encourage other taxpayers to look at the list and see if they think it 
justifies a solution of the scope and scale proposed.

I think the reality is, because of our small size, our town requires the 
“decentralized” approach we’ve used to date.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Cell phone carriers?

I too use a Google Fi phone. If you travel internationally, Verizon wants 
$10/day to switch to an interntional roaming service. If you are gone 20 days, 
that’s obviously a $200 cell phone bill, on top of whatever you were paying per 
month. Google Fi first seeks out a wifi contact and then makes wifi phone 
calls. My average monthly bill around home is USD $24-28. When travelling, 
assuming people call me while I in a car and there was no wifi, my bill for 
that month might be $35-40 total – for the month.

So you land at the Frankfort Airport, attach yourself to the Airport wifi, and, 
with no further ado, you are reachable and can reach out immediately at no 
extra charge. Do all the business you want from your hotel room in Paris on the 
hotel wifi – no extra charge. Und so fort. Very handy in places like Talinn or 
Tel Aviv, where wifi is ubiquitous.

[LincolnTalk] Drop a tree?

[Fred Hopengarten]

I have two trees in the woods that need to be dropped. No need for the usual
five man crew to cut it up and feed it into a shredder, then rake and clean
up. The wood can be left where dropped. But it will require someone to climb
in order to drop the tree without damaging nearby trees. A truck with boom
cannot be driven to the site.
 
Anyone know a solo climber who could cut off some limbs as he climbs down?
Both trees are small, one 45' tall, the other 30'.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Natural gas price increase

[Fred Hopengarten]

The assertion has been made here on LT that:

“The reality is that US Presidents have very little influence over energy 
prices, . . .”

I refer readers to this CNBC (not a right-wing news outlet) report:

“Joe Biden this year revoked a key permit needed for a U.S. stretch of the 
1,200-mile project.”
“The Keystone XL pipeline was expected to carry 830,000 barrels per day of 
Alberta oil sands crude to Nebraska,”
Source: 
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/09/tc-energy-terminates-keystone-xl-pipeline-project.html

To get a sense of whether 830,000 barrels per day is a little or a lot of oil, 
see

“Biden announces huge strategic oil reserve release to curb gas prices
The unprecedented release of 1 million barrels a day over the next six months 
from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve aims to make up for the loss of Russian 
oil from global markets amid the Ukraine conflict” (Emphasis added.)
Source: 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2022/03/31/strategic-petroleum-reserve-release-biden/
If the President released 1 million barrels per day and claimed it would help 
energy prices, and that help is limited to six months, then it is fair to 
suggest that 830,000 barrels per day with no time limit should help energy 
prices.

[I hate myself for debating national politics on LT. But the facts suggest 
that, as long as supply and demand are relevant concepts, less oil influences 
energy prices, and more oil influences energy prices.]

[Fred Hopengarten]

All pilots, and others too, know that LiveATC.net (referenced below) is a 
wonderful resource.

There is a small Lincoln connection.

Live ATC was created by Dave Pascoe, ham radio call-sign KM3T. After leaving 
work for the White House Communications Agency, based in DC, he moved to Six 
Willarch Road, Lincoln, for several months -- before finding more permanent 
digs for himself.

On late night helicopters:

Boston MedFlight  
<https://www.bostonmedflight.org/medical-helicopter-transport/> operates 
helicopters out of Hanscom as well as other airports. The pattern you describe 
however doesn't quite sound like a medevac flight.

If anyone is really curious, you can listen to the live Hanscom tower air 
traffic control here:

https://www.liveatc.net/hlisten.php?mount=kbed1_twr 
<https://www.liveatc.net/hlisten.php?mount=kbed1_twr=kbed> =kbed

(this requires some experience decoding the "phraseology", but if you listen a 
little bit you can get the gist of things.)

Re: [LincolnTalk] Alt. Fireworks Shows in the area

Newton at Albemarle Field (find Fessenden School and you are there) has an 
excellent show. Bring a lawn chair with a carrying strap. Park far away and

What are other ‘good’ firework shows in the area?  I know there are lists of 
shows on various sites, but I don’t get a good sense of the size of the show 
and other intangibles (e.g ease of parking, viewing location comfort). Missing 
the Lincoln show!

[LincolnTalk] Old Computers

[Fred Hopengarten]

I have somewhere between four and seven old computers to give away. All more
recent than the 386 era, most post-486. I may have more. 
 
All working, though I may have to remove some hard drives (HIPAA concerns).
 
Need any? Good ideas about a charity that will ship them to a school or
third-world country?

1-1.

The game was televised by the CBS Sports online service.
 
Union plays Maine again tomorrow at 5 pm.

Erwin Liverman is THE BEST chimney repair guy I’ve ever seen, but I think he’s
