Just in time for snow, Boston has launched its Adopt-a-Hydrant program, in which you promise to shovel out a specific hydrant after a storm, like, say, the ones we're supposed to get tonight and Saturday.

Meanwhile, both Brookline and Cambridge have referral programs to match residents with snow with teens with shovels.

"I’m a big fan of books, whales, owls, classrooms and clean highways. All of these worthy causes deserve generous public and private support. But, as an adoptive mother, I believe "Adopt-a-fill in the blank" misuses a very special, potent word and can add to the public’s misunderstanding of adoption.

Adoption creates a sacred, legal, and everlasting bond between a child and a parent. When a child is adopted, he or she becomes a permanent part of a family."
