WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:07.200 It's Nightside with Dan Ray on WBZY, Boston's news radio. 2 00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:12.240 Thang you, Nicole. Hope everyone is nice and toasty warm 3 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.160 as we get ready for a couple of little snow 4 00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.320 events this last week of January. Good evening everyone. My 5 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.559 name is Dan Ray, the host of Nightside. Always an 6 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.719 honor and pleasure to work with Nicole Davis, who's one 7 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.160 of the true broadcast professionals, not only in New England 8 00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.679 but in America. As far as I am concerned, I 9 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:38.200 cannot heap enough praise on my friend Nicole Davis. Nor 10 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.280 can I heap enough praise on my great friend Rob Brooks, 11 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:44.520 who's the producer of this program. We've been we are now. 12 00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:46.759 I am in my eighteenth year, and I think Rob 13 00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.880 has been with me about thirteen or fourteen of those years. 14 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:51.759 We have to go back, Rob and figure out exactly 15 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.799 what year you began so we can give you proper credit. 16 00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.799 But welcome to all of you listeners. I say old, 17 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.319 I don't mean I don't mean old in terms of age, 18 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.599 but listeners have been with me for a long time, 19 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.120 and perhaps if you're listening tonight for the first time 20 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.560 anywhere across America, around the world, feel free to join 21 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:16.519 and participate. We'll take phone calls beginning after nine o'clock 22 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.599 with our guest. Tonight, we're going to talk about the 23 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.400 legislature in Massachusetts maybe getting serious finally and banning cell 24 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.719 phone usage by students in high schools or in all 25 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.040 schools here in Massachusetts. We'll talk about the state senator 26 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.560 about that, and then later on I'm going to talk 27 00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.799 about the standoff that occurred between the presidents of the 28 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.560 United States and Columbia over the weekend, and it looks 29 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.439 as if the President of Columbia came to came to 30 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.519 his senses and caved on that. We'll talk about that 31 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:49.879 at ten. But first off, did the earth move for 32 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.719 you today? I was asked that question by a friend 33 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.400 of mine today and I smiled, No. I was not 34 00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:00.519 impacted by the earthquake off the coast of York, but 35 00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:03.439 I know that area of New England very well. And 36 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.359 with me now is a guest that I don't I 37 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.719 guess I haven't talked to in about twenty or so years. 38 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:16.120 Boston College professor John Ebel with the Western Observatory, who 39 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:22.360 monitors all of these movements. Professor, welcome to Night's side. 40 00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.680 For the first time, and nice. Nice to renew our 41 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.240 acquaintance of many years ago. 42 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.520 Yes, indeed it was an earthquake a long time ago, 43 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.840 now that I had the pleasure of medium. 44 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.800 I think it was early in the morning, if I recall. 45 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.439 It was, Yes, Yes, we both got roused to the 46 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.879 observatory about something like two in the morning, and we 47 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.280 were both a little bit bleary. 48 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.759 I would say, yeah, I was working the morning shift, 49 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.400 but that was one of the more the earlier morning 50 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:57.240 morning assignments that I was. I was literally I wasn't 51 00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.080 shaken out of bed by the earthquake, but I would 52 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.680 have been shaken out of by an overnight a phone 53 00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.919 call from the overnight producer at the time, whoever that 54 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.319 wonderful person was. So this today it generated a lot 55 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.520 of publicity. I was watching the noon newscasts on Channel 56 00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.240 five and also Channel four, switching back and forth. You 57 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.039 got a lot of time on television today. Where were 58 00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:25.360 you when the earth moved? 59 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.000 I was actually at the observatory, sitting in my office 60 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.000 working on my computer. I don't think it felt it, 61 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.960 but I felt it. But I remember at one point 62 00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.479 just wondering, I wonder if there was just an earthquake. 63 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.879 And then I didn't think anything of it because I 64 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:44.000 didn't feel anything. It was more like just a little 65 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.599 sound or something that I may have picked up if 66 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.759 I was concentrating on my works. I didn't pay attention. 67 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.840 And then about I don't know, a few minutes later, 68 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.719 I got a text from a friend at Framingham State 69 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.840 and she said, was there just an earthquake? And then 70 00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.639 I checked the records and boy, there was an earthquake. 71 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.199 And then the emails and telephone calls started coming. 72 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.120 In, so I know what it registered initially at full 73 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.639 point one. Then it got downgraded a little bit. That's 74 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.280 that's a pretty good size quake. But that's since it 75 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.960 was offshore, probably it's not going to do too much damage. 76 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:20.279 I watched the newscast tonight on Channel five and Channel four, 77 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:25.000 and yeah, obviously people closer to York Maine felt it 78 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.120 and heard it. But how significant is this and what 79 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.759 does it tell us? It doesn't tell us that California 80 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:34.639 is going to slide into the ocean, obviously. 81 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.639 Well, what I like to tell people is it's a 82 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.399 reminder that we also live in earthquake country, just as 83 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.360 they do in California. The big difference between the earthquakes 84 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.360 here in New England and the earthquakes in California is 85 00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.439 what they get in one year in terms of earthquake 86 00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.680 activity in California, we have to wait one hundred years 87 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.279 to get the same number of earthquakes here in New England. 88 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.120 So the earthquake activity plays itself out at a much 89 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.519 slower rate than it doesn't in California, and that that 90 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.920 helps us because we just don't have as many damaging 91 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.920 earthquakes in any you know, year, or or century or 92 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.399 or or any time period compared to California. 93 00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:18.959 Okay, so let me ask you the thousand dollars question 94 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.639 at least, and that is why are we so lucky 95 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.639 we have an ocean in a coastline and California is 96 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.240 so unlucky in terms of earthquakes. I'm sure it's a 97 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.920 complicated answer, but uh, is California like earthquakes central for 98 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.519 the entire world or are there other areas of the 99 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.240 world that are well, we hear these earthquakes in the 100 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:44.040 Middle East that are calamitous because its entire cities that 101 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.079 that that get knocked over. Is it just different parts 102 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.120 of the world. It just so happens to be where 103 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.319 you live. Is that? What's the what's the explanation? 104 00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:56.720 Yeah, I mean, in a very rough way, that's it. 105 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.879 Most of the world's earthquakes, nine twenty percent of them 106 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.839 occur at the boundaries between two tectonic plates. California is 107 00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.160 at the boundary between the North American Plate and the 108 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.600 Pacific Ocean Plate. In fact, Los Angeles technically is on 109 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:18.519 the Pacific Ocean Plate because it's west of the San 110 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.079 Andreas Fault. So when I lived in California and I 111 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.000 would drive into the Los Angeles area, I knew where 112 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.920 the San Andrea's fault was, and I would think to 113 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.399 myself as I crossed the fault, Welcome to the Welcome 114 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.680 to the Pacific Plate. Here in Boston. Here in Boston, 115 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:37.279 we're on the edge of the continent, or we're actually 116 00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:41.600 in the middle of the North American tectonic plate, because 117 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.920 the eastern boundary of the North American Plate is actually 118 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.600 in the center of the Atlantic Ocean. We are spreading 119 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.920 away from Europe and Africa, and at a rate of 120 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:57.439 about an inch or two per year, and the spreading 121 00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.639 is occurring right in the center of the Atlantic, at 122 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.959 what we called the mid Atlantic Ridge. So every year, 123 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.160 for instance, we get a couple of inches farther from Ireland, 124 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.839 for example. So I tell my friends who have you know, 125 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.319 Irish connections and want to go back to Ireland, better 126 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.079 go now because next year is going to be farthest. 127 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:16.480 So the tickets are going to cost more. 128 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.800 Yeah, And I've since that. The last time I flew there, 129 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.000 it seemed like a longer flight. Only kidding, only kidding. Uh, Okay, 130 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.879 So is the central part of the America. They get 131 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.879 tornadoes and they get some pretty nasty weather, but I 132 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:35.399 guess they're a little immune to earthquakes in in the 133 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.480 central in Central Falls. 134 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:43.720 Oh. Just the opposite, uh. In the in the central 135 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:51.839 United States, between southern Missouri and Arkansas on one side 136 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:55.759 and Tennessee and Kentucky on the other side, is what's 137 00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:00.519 called the New Madrid Seismic Zone, which had we think 138 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:07.759 we're the largest earthquakes away from plate boundaries known historically 139 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.720 about magnitude seven and a half for the largest largest earthquakes, 140 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:14.160 and those earthquakes were felt all the way to the 141 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.160 East coast. 142 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:19.720 WHOA, okay, well then we're kind of okay. And basically, 143 00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:21.600 as I understood it today, that was one of the 144 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.279 plates was kind of sliding underneath one of the others. 145 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.160 Is that some earth that's what was going on out 146 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.560 there under the water. Yeah. 147 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:36.720 Basically what's happening is we're moving away from Europe and Africa, 148 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.879 so we're being pushed toward the west at the eastern 149 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.360 plate boundary you go out to California. In California is 150 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:48.440 pushing against the Pacific Ocean plate. So what that's doing 151 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.159 is that's catching the entire middle of the North American Plate, 152 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.480 including where we live, in a squeezing motion. Just as 153 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.200 if you were to put a clay brick into a 154 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:02.240 vice and slowly turn the crank on device to increase 155 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.480 the pressure. You can't do that forever until the brick breaks, 156 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.039 and it's doing that to relieve the pressure. The place 157 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.720 where it breaks, the crack is what we would call 158 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.919 a fault, and we have those all the time here 159 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.639 in the middle of the North American Plate. And that's 160 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:20.879 what happened this morning. 161 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.120 Professor is always great to talk to you. We haven't 162 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.960 covered this in the level or depth that i'd like to, 163 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.480 and I'd like to give our listeners some night a 164 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:35.720 chance to join us and ask questions of someone I 165 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.200 EU who knows this stuff cold. Could I guess you 166 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.120 to come back some night and one of the later 167 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.240 hours at nine or ten and take phone calls from listeners. 168 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.840 These these these interviews in this hour are just in 169 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:51.559 many cases much too brief. If I could, if I 170 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:55.159 could prevail upon you to return at some point, if 171 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.759 not this week, next week, when this is fashioned people's mind, 172 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.200 I'd appreciate it, and I know my listeners would as well. 173 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.720 I would be happy to be And to me, it's 174 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:07.679 actually an important part of my work educating people about earthquakes, 175 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.440 because when the next earthquake occurs that's strong enough that 176 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.919 it might be damaging, it's important for me to tell 177 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:18.240 people what's going to happen, what to expect, how to 178 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:20.759 keep themselves safe from the earthquakes. 179 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.879 Well, thank you very much. I will look forward to 180 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.679 chatting with you at some point in the next a 181 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:28.679 week to ten days something like that. My producer will 182 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.080 get in touch with you, okay.

So I really want people 212 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.039 have evolved and think about you know, you're not if 213 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:25.679 you're still living in the house that you bought because 214 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.559 it was close to the kids' school and close to 215 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.279 a job that you no longer have, and the kids 216 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:32.879 are off on their own lives, they're off to college. 217 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.879 You know, maybe you need to rethink where you're living 218 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.080 and why and should you live somewhere else? And then 219 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:43.720 the hitch van is is your stuff holding you back? 220 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.159 Because so many people go, oh, you know, it's just 221 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.200 too much trouble. I've got too much stuff. You know, 222 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:49.240 I'm never okay. 223 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.799 Move Okay, I'm a too much stuff guy, all right? 224 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.960 Long time okay journalist, TV reporter here in Boston thirty 225 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:01.200 one years, eighteen years as a talk show host. I 226 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:06.000 had paper records from the nineteen seventies, eighties, nineties. I 227 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.519 have stuff, Okay. I'm not a packweb Okay, I know 228 00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:13.840 where it is. It's in file cabinets. My wife keeps 229 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:17.919 screaming to me, get rid of the file cabinets. Yeah, stuff, 230 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.279 I have some stuff over my life that you know, 231 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.440 I have kept, often for sentimental reasons. How do you 232 00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:30.360 do that? How do you say okay to whatever? You know? 233 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:35.600 You're you know stuff? It's tough, I think, ye. How 234 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.799 do you condition me convince me? 235 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:41.799 All right? Well there are I have a lot of 236 00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.840 things to tell you, but let's start with this. I 237 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.279 think that onces to talk about why this matters, and 238 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.440 it does so for so many people. For some people 239 00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.799 it's not their papers, but it may be their photographs 240 00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:55.960 or or even clothing or you know, dishes from their grandmother. 241 00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.519 But here's the thing. If we all this stuff makes 242 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:03.720 us feel like we matter in our lives matter, and 243 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:07.639 our history matters, and we've done things and we've been places. 244 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:11.480 But guess what you've done? All that's true even if 245 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.159 you don't have this stuff. You've been places, you've done things, 246 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.399 you had loving relationships, you have good memories, and you 247 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:21.320 don't need to keep the file tabinet to prove it. 248 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:26.320 So that's the first thing is is make you know 249 00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:30.519 your secret is a scanner. You need to make you know. 250 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.120 Sport through your papers, figure out what's really necessary to 251 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.440 keep and scan it into a into a computer and 252 00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:40.559 to described it will really minimize the amount of papers 253 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:41.679 that you're you're holding onto. 254 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.759 Okay, my question is this, I know a little bit 255 00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:51.679 about scanners you're talking about that's like hours and hours days. 256 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:56.399 And hire an intern. Yeah, you get an intern higher someone. Yeah, 257 00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.080 and they're going to be better at it than you 258 00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:01.200 for sure. What do you do will help you edit? 259 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.240 Yeah? What about your Hell well, I got to edit 260 00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:07.039 my stuff. The intern con editor stuff. The intern doesn't know. 261 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:07.879 You've got to edit. 262 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.960 I got to do the editing front. Okay. So then 263 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.440 the question is what do you do with the videotapes? 264 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.919 The videotapes of your kids the first Christmas? I mean, 265 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:18.399 I have I'm looking across the room here at dozens 266 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.120 of videotapes. I have no idea what's on them. I 267 00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:24.080 hope that they still will work. They're like, you know, 268 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.960 half inch, three quarter range or whatever. Old. So what 269 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:29.320 do you do? 270 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.519 Scan my photos dot com? I'm telling you, scan my 271 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.600 photos dot com. My friend Mitch Goldstone has done the 272 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.960 scan videos. Will he will migrat it into the digital age. 273 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:43.399 He will take care of all of it. He's done 274 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.120 billions of people's photos, videos and never lost anything. He's 275 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.639 a great guy. Scan my photos dot com. 276 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:52.639 What's his name? 277 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:57.480 His name is what Mitch Goldstone. He's the owner of 278 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.840 scan my photos dot com. Tell him, Marnie Amuson sent you. 279 00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:03.440 We're long time, but he is.

They 281 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.799 are now on one one DVD and we can migrate 282 00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.759 them forward and they're in the cloud. So it's a 283 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:19.039 big fire happened. He's based in Coast and Mason, but 284 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.679 I'm in Florida and I send my stuff to him. 285 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:23.879 What do you do? Load your stuff up on a 286 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:24.320 truck and. 287 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.720 Well you'll actually, you know, I don't know how he 288 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.399 handles videos per se, but you us. You just put 289 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.120 them in a box and sent it to them and 290 00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:36.919 you put posts on which ones. He will scan the 291 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:39.960 post it too and tell you this is nineteen seventy seven. 292 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:45.559 You interview with you know, somebody's famous and migrated. 293 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:49.399 I have interviews with just about every president never never 294 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.919 mind governors and senators and stuff. 295 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.440 Yeah, yeah, you need digital migration. There's also something Dan 296 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:59.200 called it. There are organizers, right, and there's somebody who's 297 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.039 there's a special called digital organizing. And if you look 298 00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:08.359 up organizers, professional organizers, and digital organizers, that sounds like 299 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.839 what could be very helpful to you. They can make 300 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.079 short work out of all of your stuff. But let's 301 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.119 get back to why you have so much stuff and 302 00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:20.759 you really really want to break it down to These 303 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:24.440 are my three favorite words in this realm. Need, use, love, 304 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:26.720 Do I need it? Do I use it? Do I 305 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.039 love it? If you can't answer yes to at least 306 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.759 one of those questions, you really need to think about 307 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:32.240 letting go. 308 00:17:33.079 --> 00:17:35.759 Yep, no, I hear you, Martie, give us the book 309 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.000 because I got to go buy the book.

Us what's going on? 370 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:49.759 And we got two we got two potential events I 371 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:53.079 guess in the next thirty six or forty eight hours. 372 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.480 Right, Yeah, that's right. What we have are several clippers. 373 00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:59.559 These are fast moving storms that sweep across basically from 374 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:02.279 the Great Lag to New England, and they're kind of 375 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.640 quick hitting systems. They're in and out of here really quickly. 376 00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.920 But with these specific clippers, they have what's called an 377 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.039 Arctic coal front. You remember that cold that we saw 378 00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.880 week and a half ago, that really cold stuff, Well 379 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.640 that's just to our north and we're not really going 380 00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:17.200 to get into that core of the cold, but we're 381 00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:19.519 kind of straddling the edge of it. And with each 382 00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:22.400 of these cold fronts that come through, they could touch 383 00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.000 off snow smalls. These are heavier bursts of snow that 384 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.400 can happen suddenly and unfortunately just timed out perfectly tomorrow 385 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.400 and again for Wednesday for our commutes. Now, if there's 386 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:35.200 any good news tomorrow, it may come a little bit 387 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:37.400 after the morning commute, so hopefully we can get that 388 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:40.079 over and done with and not have any issues out there. 389 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.640 But what does look like? We could see a couple 390 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.359 of snowshowers working their way through the Boston area mid 391 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:47.000 morning through the midday tomorrow. And you may say it's 392 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:50.960 just a snowshower, but the snow that these things produce heavy, 393 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:54.880 quick hitters, not necessarily a lot of snow, but just 394 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.440 well the visibility that you see that drops so quickly 395 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:00.000 with these it's what makes them so dangerous. 396 00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.240 Yeah, this is this is sort of like if you 397 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.599 put it in a in a sports reference, sort of 398 00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:12.599 like the the Mike Tyson of snowstorms. I mean, you know, 399 00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.359 you gotta feel it. 400 00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:19.039 Quickly exactly. And for any Star Wars fans out there, 401 00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:21.319
