Alleged mobster, killer, and FBI informant James “Whitey” Bulger is now in court facing his accusers. After a week of picking jurors, the trial of the 21st Century in now underway!

Will the families of his victims finally get the justice they been searching for a long time? I hope so. It’s amazing that he’s evaded this for some many years. The old creep’s now 83 years old!

It’s going to be a long summer (not certain if it’s going to be hot because of all this rain we’ve been having lately).

Glad that we don’t have to worry about any blizzards anymore!

Where was this weather for Memorial Day weekend? I almost froze to death last Saturday in the cold rain.

The only downside is that I haven’t had the chance to buy a new air conditioner unit for my living room. Right now, I’ve got my ceiling fans spinning at maximum speed.

The curse of New England weather rears its ugly head once again to inconvenient us!

Next week, we’re heading into the 70s!

A mile wide tornado went through Moore, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City, and nearly destroyed it. Houses were leveled to the ground and an elementary school’s gymnasium was split in two when it struck the school. At least 51 people were killed, including children, according to the latest news. Rescue workers are still searching for more survivors and victims.

In 1999, a tornado at the speed of 300 miles per hour went through Moore damaging it and killing its residents. Sad to see this happen to them again 14 years later.

The manhunt is over!!!! The 19 year old bombing suspect was found hiding in a boat in the backyard of a house in Watertown. He is now being taken to a nearby hospital. The owner of the boat saw blood near his boat and called police who rapidly dashed to his backyard.

As you know, the older brother was killed in a shootout last night after they had killed a MIT policy officer.

The police took the second suspect alive because they need to know whether or not the two bombers were working alone.

Gunshots have been heard near Building 32 on Vassar Street where MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) is located. The area around the building has been cordoned off. Students have been ordered to stay clear of that building.

A MIT police officer has been shot and killed, according to Channel 4 news as of 12:10 am. State police and Cambridge police are on the scene right now.

The FBI released images and video of two suspects who were walking around Boylston Street with two backpacks. It is believed that they were carrying the bombs in the backpacks just before the bombs went off at the finish line at the Boston Marathon on Monday. Contact the FBI at their website: www.fbi.gov

Very tragic afternoon in Boston! Around 2:50 pm today, two explosions in close proximity to the finishing line at the Boston Marathon happened injuring 130 and killing 3 people! Copley Square turned into a crime scene area for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening. A third bombing device was found under the grandstand smoking and was put out by a water cannon that the bomb experts were used.

Information about what happened is still pouring in now. I have been watching the news since I got home around 6 pm. I found out from a co-worker about the explosions just after 3:00 pm. A TV in the building lobby where I work was on Channel 5. The news people were showing both video and pictures of the two explosions.

The Boston Marathon is an international event that brings people all over the world to participate and watch. It’s usually a very happy event. Now, some lunatic (or group of lunatics) has ruined it today and must be brought to justice.

Rest in peace, Roger Ebert!

Looks like we’re going to have one more snowstorm just before spring starts on Wednesday. The weather people are predicting 4 to 8 inches in the Boston area, but they said that range of inches the last time it snowed. We ended up getting 13 inches instead.

At least, I got to go home from work early on that day! Work is so boring!!!

The snow should start on Monday night around midnight and will end Tuesday afternoon. Spring begins at 7 am on Wednesday.

I got a WTF moment watching the 6pm News on Channel 4 in Boston tonight. The Boston Phoenix which renamed itself as The Phoenix has folded! The Boston Phoenix was an alternative newspaper for nearly 5 decades until last fall when it made itself over into a glossy magazine. It always contained interesting articles about politics, arts, music, and entertainment. Also, it included a calendar of events for the coming week.

Today’s issue was it’s last issue. Now, what I am going to look for every Thursday to read?

This really sucks.

Rest in Peace, Phoenix!
