Radon

I had asked Superintendent Maguire whether the schools had been tested for radon, and he tells me that they all tested below EPA guideline levels for radon in the 1989.

Model Airplanes

1/1/12 turned out to be the biggest day I had ever seen at the Bill Martin airfield, off Hospital Road at the Charles River (it is on one of my jogging routes).  Sunday morning there were maybe fifteen cars, and two to three times that number of model planes.  I saw the usual variety of regular model planes, plus all electric powered planes, a model of a WWI German biplane that looked longer than a Smart car, and helicopters that could fly upside down.
