Boston update - 915am

Things are nutso heah.

All public transportation has been shot down: subways, buses and Amtrak. Local NPR also says taxicabs are shut down.

I live on a four lane Boston street that's usually busy. Traffic right now looks like 6am on a Sunday morning.

I got a robocall from the City of Boston telling me "to stay indoors with my doors locked" about a half hour ago. (BPD says don't answer your door unless it's a policeman.)

Talk about fear.......

The talking heads are doing their thing: talking. Unfortunately there is little new information and 'news' guys have gone to speculation since they have no new news.

Was going on and on about how NORMAL the suspects looked and how angry that made everybody.

I turn to my son and asked if he knew what that meant.

He immediately pegged it.....Not brown

I switched to wbur
