David Rogers sure knows how to make friends with his neighbors.  Mr. Rogers’ is the vice-president of Ops-Core which recently rented quarters in the Fort Point neighborhood…an area of South Boston known for it’s artist community.  Several of the established studio residents have expressed concern regarding possible health and safety issues associated with Ops-Core’s operations.

In response to an inquiry by the Boston Inspectional Services Dept., Mr. Rogers e-mailed that the opposition was simply  a case of “drama queens who use art as an excuse to justify and rationalize their pathetic existence!”

I’m guessing that Mr. Rogers will not be invited to the neighborhood Christmas party.

If any of my readers speak Russian, I would appreciate a translation of their  current  satellite name which reads in English as Phobos-Grunt.

Diane Bozzi of Rochester, N.H. was the victum of a thief last week, who stole a urn from her unlocked car;  an urn containing her mother’s ashes.  Fourtunately, the thief wasn’t interested in Ms. Bozzi’s mother’s ashes and returned the urn several days later.   Ms. Bozzi explained that ever since her mother’s death in 2002 she has been carrying the ashes with her to her weekly bingo games because she brought her good luck.

This news is bound to hurt rabbit’s foot sales.

The FBI has just arrested seven members of a renegade Amish sect for attacking other Amish male members.  The religious differences between the two groups has led to multiple assaults by the renegade group who shave the beards of their victims and then cut their hair; a humilation in the Amish religion. 

The leader of the hair-cutting group has been identified as Sam Mullet.
