Friday Afternoon Commute - Chairs

Am I the only one hoping Barney Frank gets appointed to fill Kerry's seat? I know it won't happen, but that guy is just too fun to lose. And realistically, he already knows Congress, will be 'unemployed' in January and could possibly move some of his staff with him. He could hit the ground running more any of the other people being mentioned could. But mostly, I just like seeing him interviewed.  But Deval should really just put Paul Kirk back in and save us the expense of paying an additional pension. Who else has his kind of experience with caretaker Senatoring for the Commonwealth?

• Mary Cheh stays as the Transportation committee chair. Bike commuting CM Tommy Wells is now chair of the the judiciary and public safety committee - which means MPD is under his watch. 
• The zoning for the St. Elizabeth's East Campus has been approved and it includes bike parking.
• One of the unintended consequences of bike commuting. "The [parking] tickets started stacking up the day after Thanksgiving, unbeknownst to many residents because they often ride the bus or bike or walk."

Barney needs something to keep him busy. Get that man an ambassadorship.

Re Tickets piling up: The main reason I got rid of my own car was that I was tired of checking up on it to make sure it didn't have a ticket of flat tire or some such.
