Decisions, Decisions

In the interest of maintaining the educational tone of this daily offering, I'm pleased to report that today, September 16, is the 278th anniversary of the day in 1630 that the little town of Shawmut in Massachusetts, named for the village in England from whence some of the original settlers had come, changed it's name to Boston. I think we're all grateful to them. Can you imagine a world of Shawmut cream pie, or Shawmut baked beans? Or heaven forbid, the Shawmut Red Sox? The Shawmut tea party? Nah.
