No salsa

Evidence comes from this Brookline supermarket, where Nomi Burstein shows us the paucity of salsa around 3:40 p.m. (also from the parking lot of the Roche Bros. in West Roxbury, which was even more crowded than usual around the same time, no, really, it was so crowded at least one local editor and his wife just gave up and drove to the Dedham Stop & Shop).

also, the patriots not being involved is less stressful. i’m very relaxed. i’m usually pacing around making my kids nervous. let’s go jimmy g!

The local audience is stocking up the tv snacks, yes, but they aren't watching the football game tonight.
WHDH is running a four-hour Best Of Candlepin Bowling marathon this evening!

This is the first time in 15 years I regret getting canceling cable and getting rid of the TV.

there was a run on toilet paper and paper towels.

Explain this to me, please.

Makes me think of the Superbowl "big flush" urban legend. :-)

All that salsa makes a mess before and afterwards.

Roche's lot was awful, but I parked at the post office and the store wasn't bad at all, lots of cashiers, very short wait to check out.

Hmmmm.

They like salsa and concussions for their entertainers whom they also want to provide with oodles of money and to have them wear tight lycra pants at work.

I'm going to have to change laundry detergent brands.

After that interminable series of Tide ads, I just can't use them anymore.

I mean really, this qualifies as news worth sharing? And I'm not talking about Adam but the person who saw this and decided it was picture worthy.

You know stuff like this is my catnip!

But, yes, yesterday was a slow news day.

I really do. And you Adam provide a great service to Boston, can't tell you how many times UHub has been the only place to carry a particular story that I was interested in reading. And the commenters are very good as well.
