Checklist Comments: Unpredictable New England weather rain forecast changed from noon to earlier. Folks were registered so a message went out this morning that the trip was cancelled. Leah of Gore Pl comes all the way from Southborough, so I told her not to bother. Living in Waltham I went to the meeting location where 7 of the 11 registrants actually did show up either because they were fazed about the weather or hadn’t picked up the message.
