Brian Cummings reports via e-mail on the horsey set in Weston this morning:
Well, this is a first. Around 7:00 or so, going inbound to Boston saw a beautiful chestnut horse running toward Boston alongside the tracks, followed by a woman running behind, followed by a panting MBTA cop. Between Silver Hill and Hastings. Train delayed for 10-15 minutes. All three none the worse for wear.
At least we weren't robbed by outlaws.
MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo reports train 406 was delayed 11 minutes as Weston and Lincoln police corraled the wayward equine.

Weston Police say he's one of two people apparently caught by surprise when they tried breaking into a Summer Street home off Rte. 20 around 3:45 a.m. on Dec. 29. Must be Northern Irish, because in addition to describing him as "Irish looking," police report he was wearing an orange T-shirt.

What could possibly go wrong when a film crew sets up shop at the Weston toll plaza during morning rush hour - especially when turnpike crews are already there doing some lane reconfiguring? Try a westbound traffic jam from Weston to Newton Corner.
Turnpike mouthpiece Mac Daniel at least had the decency to apologize for this, ah, clustertruck:

Terry Klein points us to a Mass. Appeals Court decision that gave a thumb's down to an attempt to make "by hand" mean the same as "in hand."
At issue: A $760,000 purchase-and-sale agreement for some property in Weston, specifically, a clause in the agreement that required delivery of documents "in hand."

Frankie has lived here long enough to know how to use "wicked" correctly, but she still can't find her way around our sign-less cow paths. Take, for example, her attempt yesterday to get to Wellesley College, in a trip that left her somewhere in the middle of Godforsaken Weston:
