Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: It has been a cats and dogs kinda week.

First up: the wicked rare occurrence of some good news so as to take the edge off of what all then followed.

As far as Quincy Quarry is concerned, this week started out with upbeat news for a change: Britain’s beloved Larry the Cat celebrated his tenth anniversary as Chief Mouser for Number 10 Downing Street, the official home and office complex for the United Kingdom’s prime minister.

Simply put, while the current prime minister has made a muddle of things, especially as regards both his role in the debacle that is Brexit as well as his so-called response to COVID-19, Larry has conversely duly as well as long professionally dispatched vermin with extreme prejudice in traditional British stiff upper lip fashion.

Domestically, however, things continue to implode. 

In fact, literally in the case of the one-time Trump Casino in Atlantic City as it was blown up earlier this week as well as also streamed live by all manner of news outlets.

Granted, Donald Trump lost his seat at the table of this casino with his name on it given one of his numerous bankruptcy filings as well as that the casino has long been shuttered and so decaying, both the timing and symbolism of this explosive event has to be chapping The Donald’s tukas.

Chapping big time.

And locally, while the snow jobs continue as well as are likely to continue to do so, Quincy Quarry busted stones with its latest hard-hitting blockbuster exposé.

In this instance, the Quarry exposéd the purported causal reason for last month’s major water line break underneath Hancock Street between North Quincy High and the North Quincy MBTA Red Line station as well as adjacent to the North Quincy Quincy Fire Department fire station.

The putative reason: the contractor who is building 600 apartments, a 1,200 car parking garage, and roughly 50,000 on the grounds of the North Quincy MBTA station both improperly and illegally tapped into the City of Quincy’s water supply in such fashion that a blown main was not only all but inevitable but also potentially likely to happen again.

Not as likely, however, is the likelihood that the Koch Maladministration will come clean on this latest mess on its watch and then see to it that the perp is spanked with damages claims.

After all, the project is arguably Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s favorite outsized housing development dumped onto a neighborhood that was not exactly wild about it happening. 

Then again, surely the considerable amount of donations to his campaign war chest from peeps variously tied to this project has nothing to do with anything.

Just ask Koch Maladministration spokesmodel Pinocchio Walkbacker.

After all, given the long ongoing travail of the COVID-19 pandemic, who doesn’t need a good laugh.

In fact, at least a year’s worth of laughs.

Or arguably even to offset the thirteen-year long reign of the Koch Maladministration.
