The AP has been busy, finding lots of drugs in people's water. Sadly, Boston is on the list of cities that don't test for this stuff. Look on the bright side; you could live in a city run these morons:

Arlington, Texas, acknowledged that traces of a pharmaceutical were detected in its drinking water but cited post-9/11 security concerns in refusing to identify the drug.

The MWRA is enlarging the sewer that runs under the VFW Parkway. And that means blasting. And apparently, the best time to do some blasting and heavy construction is 3:15 in the morning. Ed Symkus wearily reports:

... [T]wo nights ago, close to midnight, my windows started rattling again. Last night, the windows rattled around the same time, then at 3:15 - yes, I'm talking about 3:15 A.M. - the banging started - make that clanging - REALLY LOUD CLANGING - metal against metal. Do these people think we're stupid? Do they think they can tell us it won't happen again, then sneak one - or two - by us? ...
