(Hopefully this isn't too incoherent; I've got a bad cold with the accompanying mental dysfunction)
I'd heard about that fire near South Station; wasn't sure that was the same problem you'd had until you noted this. It does strike me that one could get on the Orange Line at Downtown Crossing (with access to it from Park Street via a corridor) and go to Back Bay that way; I'm a little surprised that they provided buses considering that. Bus drivers not quite knowing a route isn't new to me; one of the virtues of the subway and trolley is that they can't really get lost. :)
I'm having to wonder if Sebastian is allergic to something; he seems to throw up a lot. Mind you, when I was a little kid I was more prone to that than in adulthood, but it seems a little unusual.
Gas is one of those things that makes me wish the Promise of Nuclear Power had been real, making electricity dirt cheap. I do not like something that can blow up or poison you; I'll grant that it is apparently better for cooking and is cheaper for hot water than electricity (and is a potential "biofuel," more reasonable I suspect than the "Let's use all our corn for Ethanol and drive up the price of feed so other farmers go out of business" plan) and electricity has its own dangers, but one is going to have electricity in the house anyway so why add a danger? National Grid is of course part of the "Let's deregulate utilities so that they can become even bigger monopolies" things; they're even Evil Foreigners! Okay, they're from Britain, but still.....
