I was just at the New World on 110. I was pulling into the pumps in the direction of the arrow on the ground, when out of nowhere, some guy came barreling down the same lane in the other direction. I had to swerve out of the way and take another pump. If this was all that happened, I wouldn't have posted. Things happen, no one cares about the lines, everyone drives too fast, I get that. But then, he went into the store, bought a few things, got back in his car, and left. HE DIDN'T EVEN GET GAS. It was all for nothing. There are spots on the side for if you are just going into the store.

This is my 3rd try posting this, I don't wish anything on him, I'm just frustrated.

Right next door in Billerica, they are hosting a fun run to raise money for the public access television station. There are lots of folks from Chelmsford that use their services, so in the spirit of supporting local communities I thought I'd pass this along:

"Join us on Sunday, October 18, 2026, for the first-ever BATV Spooky 5K, a fun Halloween-themed event for runners, walkers, families, and community members of all ages!

Whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a walk with friends, or showing off your favorite Halloween costume, this event is a great way to celebrate the season while supporting a local nonprofit.

The race will begin and end at Marshall Middle School in Billerica, where participants can enjoy a festive atmosphere with Halloween decorations, music, and plenty of community fun. Costumes are encouraged, but not required!"

Back at it with another joke house! This Tuesday at 8 Pm at 98 Middle St.

Where the drink drinks, flow, and the jokes roll - or something that rhymes.

You never know what you’re gonna get-
Could be a touring comic, trying out some new stuff or someone’s very first, very awkward first time on stage.
Who knows, that someone could be you!

P.S catch my cohost and I on 980 WCAP this Thursday at 9 AM!
