Sticker shock: MBTA says nearly $25 billion needed to repair aging system
That cost includes only repairs and not any upgrades to the system

This happened at our station. A retiring engineer advised the chief engineer that a key part of the satellite controller needed to be replaced.
The chief engineer ignored him.
The part failed, leaving us no way to steer the satellite dish. So we had to spend considerably more routing ALL of our satellite traffic (network feeds, commercial feeds, etc.) through a third-party provider.
I ran into Tony a couple of years later and told him what had happened. He laughed.

Who's rocking the charts on Amazon? This girl!
My editor emailed last night to tell me THE GRAMMAR DAILY is both #1 and #2 in the Amazon Hot New Releases section for Grammar Reference because they separate the print book from the ebook.
Because the book contains 13 word-search puzzles, I favor the print version, but the ebook is great too if you don't actually want to do the puzzles and just want the tips.
Thanks for all the support! I hope you love the book. 😀

If you strip away the noise, the Republican takeover of formerly progressive New College boils down to:
1. Paying themselves excessively high salaries from public money.
2. Purging people who might criticize them.
3. Giving campus restaurant and other business contracts to their friends.
4. Lowering academic standards so they can attract tuition payments from students too gullible to notice they’re just marks for a grift.
