[Later announcement]

City of Cambridge crews have repaired a water main break in the vicinity of Broadway and Prescott Streets and water service has been restored.

[My report]
Thursday September 8, 2011 about 2:00 PM a water main broke at the intersection of Broadway and Cambridge Street in Cambridge MA. It is only two blocks from the massive break at Trowbridge Street and Broadway on June 3, 2011. Here are some images captured at about 5:30 PM. It is alongside of the major renovation project of Harvard University's Fogg Museum at the same intersection. It is also the same site as a repeated gas leak over 10 years in the same intersection. NSTAR trucks can be seen in some of the images.

A city employee reported that there were additions to the original pipe and that the vibrations from the Fogg Museum construction probably contributed to this break.

NSTAR opened that spot about eight times over ten years looking for a gas leak at that intersection. That digging had an effect on the pipes too.

By 11:30 PM on Thursday the pipe was repaired and the hole was closed.

Surveyors Check Street Movement and Hidden Treasure

One Cloud Over Harvard

This one lonely puffy white cloud was hanging over Harvard University on August 29, 2011, the only cloud left after Hurricane Irene left town.

Harvard students park their bikes conveniently in case Hurricane Irene makes a U-turn. These are the front steps of a Harvard University affiliate-only building in Cambridge MA. Some call it segregated housing. Others say Harvard is not the only university to do this. Cambridge sidewalks were dry and some tree branches were broken by Irene, the Harvard Crimson reported. Images captured at about 11:00 PM August 28, 2011 after Irene was north of Massachusetts. Harvard students indicate they lack common sense, which is not taught at Harvard, and is not required for obtaining a Harvard degree.

CRLS Brain Farm Exposed

Images of these stand alone brain pods (from the Invasion of the Body Snatchers) were captured before authorities were able to hide them. City officials plant them in the lawn between CRLS and the War Memorial in Cambridge MA. The pods provide evidence of the reported surreptitious human experiments being conducted by MIT's Whitehead Institute. "It is the first large scale experiment to grow human brains without a body in an academic setting," said an assistant to the primary researcher, who insisted on remaining anonymous. The four holes on the brain molds are for electrodes to be implanted in the cerebellum, the cerebrum, the amygdala and the frontal lobes. "We will prove that nature overrules nurture. By growing these brains with the genes from the geniuses at MIT and Harvard University, we will show that no matter how hard the government tries and how much they spend per pupil, they cannot overcome the human genome," revealed the parental liaison from CRLS. We can create the perfect human before we are done. Schools will be unnecessary within 25 years. It will be possible to balance the state budgets, and spend more on high tech military weapons.

With implants in place, caps cover the holes. Pods are ready for being embedded in the ground to allow growth. Green shoots are already visible in this image.
