Hat's off to Rick P. and to DUA for staffing their agency with thoughtful and skilled employees. Thank you!

They seemed to be utter professionals--cool and calm yet highly methodical as they went hunting for the one alleged terrorist brother who went on the lam after the shootout that killed his brother. I must confess two of my uncles were Massachusetts State Troopers, which is another great group of tough cops. But the Boston Police were awesome as they used a robot, flashbangs, and a thermal camera to apprehend second Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev . The Police Chief recounted in a press conference shortly afterward just how they got the bleeding guy hiding in a Watertown backyard boat. Additionally, the Police made great use of their Twitter feed by communicating with the public about exactly what was going on. The city of Boston should be very proud of their 5 STAR YELP Boston Police Dept.

Late last evening, my 16yo grandson ran away. It's the first time he has ever done anything like…read morethat. After our personal attempts to find him proved unsuccessful, My daughter and I went to the local precinct, or rather district as they are called in Boston, to file a missing person report. Having recently retired after 34 years in law enforcement, I felt a little strange being on the other side of the desk. The desk officer, P.O. Grace greeted us with a friendly "Good morning, and didn't act as if we were interrupting him. He asked the appropriate questions, and expressed genuine sympathy with our concerns. When he finished taking our report he stated that he would immediately send my grandson's description out to the officers that were currently on duty. As my daughter and I headed home, we were both feeling stressed however I believed they would find him. I also appreciated that we weren't made to feel embarrassed or ashamed of my grandson's behavior. I fell asleep with my phone in my hand. A few hours later my daughter woke me up to tell me my grandson had been found by the police. An Officer Hogan (plainclothes) was at the door and again I was greeted politely. He explained that a unit on patrol had found my grandson just walking several blocks away. He was in good condition and unharmed but EMS was called to our house as a precautionary measure. Thank you Boston PD for finding my grandson and bringing him home safely. Thank you for a job well done.

There are good cops everywhere, but I swear the many MBTA police officers are on par with state…read morepolice in terms of attitude, power trip mentality, and an all out effort to act like machines instead of humans. Example: I once wanted to board a bus at the Lechmere T stop (the subway trains weren't running) with a small antique chair that I bought across the street, smaller than some baby carriages that are brought on. An officer walked up to me, told me I couldn't, and really made a show about how important she was as she swaggered back and forth in her uniform and rattled off rules. I would have been fine with the rule explanation but for the fact that while she did this, with her back to the bus, two men boarded, carrying a HUGE, BOXED, FLAT SCREEN TV, one man on each end. I tried repeatedly to draw her attention to this and she refused to turn around! She just smiled, shook her head and said, "I don't see anything!" Arrogance, self importance, and rule enforcement when and as she wanted to. Hope she gets fired with an attitude like that. Better yet I hope she reads this and pictures me making a deserving gesture with my hand.

Updated income information to get a correction on my Medicare premiums based on their new letter on…read morepremium costs. Met with representative at the Quincy office.They corrected it incorrectly. I anticipated this potential error in our face to face meeting and they told me to call Medicare if that happened. Medicare was called and they referred me back to social security recommending I talk with a supervisor and make a 3 way call with SS and Medicare.. When I called SS again about the error in their recent letter on premium costs, they informed me a new letter is "coming and in the system that I have not received yet" that will give me a new premium amount that is lower. 4 hours in the office and 1 hour on the phone and I am told "its in the mail". They open files, generate 4 page letters every time, are given copies of 1040 that they then do not have when they "look back", so they contradict their own letters with new letters based on old information. Keep track carefully, keep your "letters" on changes and watch carefully when there are published increases in Medicare costs and Social Security increases, because the whole system gets confusing and errors are made.

This Chinatown is pretty similar to Chinatowns around the country (and quite frankly, around the world.) There's a gate welcoming you into the area and quite a few other other Chinese inspired decorations in the area. I loved a lot of the murals and street art that lines the streets. There also seems to be a few places to sit and hang out if you'd like. There are quite a few stores and the Chinatown signature produce lining the streets. I love seeing people shop and pick their perfect veggies. If you get the chance, walk through Chinatown. It's a vibe.
