As a side note, was the whole city shut down, and no one could leave their homes?? I understand precautions and all, but it doesn't seem right that a city of how many million? could be completely shut down by 2 punks. To me that's giving them too much power. JMO

A) Boston isn't as big a city as most people seem to think. Only about 625,000 people. Cambridge is another 100,000, Brookline is 60,000. I don't know if you saw any maps of what was happening today, but Watertown is just a few miles from the city, and it's a pretty quaint 32,000 people. B) This is school vacation for the entire state, so children were going to be home anyway. C) If the people didn't think there was a good reason to stay home, they wouldn't have. I know my mom was working today just 3 or 4 miles from where the second suspect was eventually found.

I was at work 20 miles north and our facility in South Boston was open but it was discretionary to go in.  If you could work from home, like the wife and brother, that is what you did.  We live about 6-7 miles from Watertown.

I don't think you will hear any complaints from anyone in the Boston area over how this was handled.

We are just relieved that it didn't go into the night.

In the beginning, seeing the incredible show of force via SWAT/NG units roaming around, I thought this as well, but then I thought about it more and how to effectively flush out a fugitive the fastest way possible and it made more sense to me, I changed my mind and thought it was the right move plus Jamo's points. Now if they didn't find suspect #2, is extending the shutdown worth it? Maybe.

My recall on Chechnya and Dagestan is spotty, I remember reading about some pretty awful things - here is an explainer (plus read the comments) about the region:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes.
