Does anyone know of a T-accessible place where I could buy hamantaschen? Shaw's didn't have any.

Shiloh got loose and went for an unsupervised walk around Davis Square today. THANK YOU to Amanda and the other kind folks who found him, followed him to make sure he didn't run into traffic, picked him up, lent a leash, and then stuck around looking for us on a cold and snowy day! We were really lucky to find him in short order, and very grateful for the kindness of strangers in bringing our dog back to us safe and sound.

Wishing you all the best, with piles of gratitude!

Will and Katie

This is a long shot, but there's enough random information on this community that I thought somebody might be able to help.

The city of Somerville is switching from old sodium vapor street lights to new, more energy efficient LED street lights. That's great and I support it, it's good for the environment and for the city's finances. The problem is with my telescope. I have a filter for my telescope that cuts out light pollution from old-style lights, by blocking light at precisely the wavelengths of the emissions spectrum of sodium atoms. Unfortunately, that filter does nothing for the new LED lights. It's nice to have a filter for urban astronomy if you're looking at anything dimmer than the moon, and I don't know what filter(s) to get.

So, here's my random question: Does anybody know the emissions spectrum of Somerville's new LED lights? Or even a single particular wavelength that they don't emit? I'd even be happy with a model number so that I could contact the manufacturer.
