The "T" is the nickname for the MBTA -- Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority. People usually use it to refer to the subway, but the MBTA also runs buses and Commuter Rail trains as well.

The four lines of the subway (Red, Orange, Blue, and Green) and buses are considered part of the same network, and you can buy a daily or weekly "Link Pass" for unlimited usage of them. This is what you'd use when getting around Boston, Cambridge, etc..

The Commuter Rail trains (indicated in purple on the system maps) are their own network which require you to buy separate tickets: you'd need to take the Commuter Rail to get to Salem and Concord.

I don't think this would create a conflict. We've had judges that had to recuse themselves from certain cases due to a conflict and it just gets sent to a different judge. If it was student and they were renting from a professor they could probably take a different class if it ended up being their professor. I think the chances would be small though.

My predictions are 1. A useless internal committee with high press profile but zero meaningful action (e.g. lip service). 2. A couple "bad apples" who go publicly down as fall guys, while the same bullshit continues in an entirely spoiled department.

I hope I'm wrong, but Healey has bigger aspirations and easier wins to put on her record than taking on MSP.

No, because even if you go with friends; unless you're all at the same skill level, you'll end up being alone anyways. Definitely not weird.

You do you man, who cares what people think anyways? No one is gonna remember you at the mountain and doubtful you're gonna see them ever again.

Given the length of your stay, I'd suggest sticking to Boston and Salem and skipping Concord. Yeah yeah, it's an important site and all that, but unless you go during one of the reenactments (which happen on Patriots' Day in April, not in March) you're basically just looking at an empty field with a few plaques.
