We're having a brutal winter. It's friggin' cold and snow is everywhere. More snow is headed our way. Where can Hub residents turn for hope in January? Beer. Where else? This great photo, courtesy of Paul Keleher, proves that we can always count on the beer guy to deliver, even in the wicked winter of 2010-2011.

Here's a slideshow of awesome Head of the Charles photos taken by our pal Paul Keleher on Flickr. Get the race results from the event website.
--Some of those who treated the Big Dig like one big, fat ATM are finally getting their just desserts. Yesterday, a Big Dig contractor was charged with trying to overcharge the government by $300,000. They've agreed to plead guilty. [Boston Globe]
Presidential candidate Barack Obama used lines that Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick used during his campaign for governor while Obama campaigned in Wisconsin over the weekend. Here's what Obama told Clinton:
--Comm Ave is getting a 5-foot-wide bike lane on both sides between Kenmore Square and the BU Bridge by summer. [Boston Herald]
--So there was this blizzard in 1978, and the blizzard was ridiculous. But a blizzard can't be that bad if you get trapped at the Garden with color TV, beer, and hot dogs. [Boston Globe]
The American Kennel Club released the most popular dog breeds, not just in the United States, but in the major American cities. Here's the list out of Boston:
--This week, legislators will consider banning all hand-held gadgets while driving. [Boston Globe]
Jeez, can't a guy catch a break and land 16 more votes? Poor Jim Rice. The man listened to the annual chorus of "maybe next year" time and time again while his Red Sox teams tried to bring home a championship; now he has to listen to the same call again, for the 14th time, as he wonders whether he'll ever get voted into the Hall of Fame. Once again the MVP could have been voted in. Once again it didn't happen - and the margin separating him from official baseball immortality was a tiny little margin.
Let's give a hand, ladies and gentlemen, and perhaps even raise our Saturday morning coffee cups in a toast. To the new Celtics and basketball's new Big Three! Before we dive into Friday night's Celts season opener, we should take a quick trip back to May 22, when Boston gasped in horror over the hand fate had dealt. Fifth pick for what was then a terrible, wretched team. We were screwed. Ready to jump. Inconsolable....
Paul Keleher wishes us a Happy Halloween!! Check out his awesome Red Sox Rolling Rally set while you're at it. Thanks for all the great snaps Paul!...
The first Re-Image Boston submission comes from the creative Paul Keleher. The photo shopping on this image is pretty subtle - here's a hint...it seems Mr. Copley has a mischevious streak! Looking forward to seeing more of our readers' photo shopped creations, and thanks to Paul for his great work!...
So there's this tunnel in Boston, the problem is that the tunnel is crumbling. So it's time to get a plan. A transit plan that will reshape the way Boston gets from one place to the other. Let's dig a huge system of tunnels build an elevated highway alternative route for Storrow Drive that runs over the Esplanade. The Storrow Drive tunnel has some problems. It's crumbling, it's leaking (back in the 50's they didn't...
Once you know how to use Storrow getting from your point A to point B becomes so much easier. Well, that is if you're willing to take a chance. The Herald reports this morning that they've reviewed documents and seen evidence of their own that the Storrow Drive Tunnel that runs along the Esplanade is in severe need of repair. It's something the DCR has known for a while; they've been looking into the best...
A great capture at the Boston Marathon from Paul Keleher.
The MBTA opened up the new Charles/MGH stop last weekend. Among the changes to the station the most notable is pedestrian and handicapped access to the station. Escalators and elevators will take passengers to the platform from ground level, a welcome change for, uh, the stop named for a hospital. The reconfigured station will allow pedestrians to avoid a bit more of the traffic mess that is Charles Circle.
We're getting close, damn close, to the start of the Patriots regular season. Perhaps it will help us take the sting away from what's going on with the Sox lately. There will be some new music at Gillette Stadium for this season's home games. Every time the Pats score a touchdown they'll employ a little celebratory ditty. Right now, they're not sure what it's going to be. We're not quite sure if it's more ironic...
For those who love reality television, you are most likely familiar with the FOX series, "Trading Spouses", where two “couldn’t be more different” families swap the mothers for a week to see what happens when mothers stop being polite and start getting real. One recent episode had the fathers so riled up over one another's spouses that a table was thrown with shouts of "You're going to kill him. Stop it!" in the background. (Riveting, right?) So when this posting popped up today on craigslist’s “creative gigs” section, Bostonist had to give those Fox Television execs some credit. While they might have misstepped by killing off Mischa Barton's character on "The O.C." recently, FOX might be onto something good here:
