Religion aside, we thought Easter was about eggs and ham (not green, preferably). And we thought turkeys were native to Brookline. But while enjoying the fine weather yesterday afternoon, we encountered a lone turkey wandering the streets of Arlington. Distracted by the presence of a police officer prowling around the house, we almost missed seeing the bird. We were busy dreaming up what terrible crime might possibly have been committed within (assault with a deadly chocolate bunny?), but then the officer directed our attention to the big old bird in the yard. There's no trace of the turkey on the Arlington crime report, so we presume he didn't manage to steal any leftover Easter goodies.

A disabled train at Arlington caused 25-30 minute delays for commuters this morning, and the issue does not appear to have been resolved. Our inbound Green Line commute wasn't too bad, but many of our coworkers are trickling in late. Did anyone else have problems on the Green Line this morning?
