Trapped in Quarantine? - Seashells Transform Boson Bathroom Into Tropical Paradise




BOSON, MA—-A wicker basket filled with seashells and placed on top of a toilet tank has magically transformed Dan and Paula Watson's small bathroom into a serene tropical oasis.  

The married couple is self quarantined in their small apartment because of the state wide suggestion to 'shelter in place.'  While her husband has been spending time in the basement 'organizing his tools' and drinking beer, Paula has been cleaning and organizing the apartment. 

"I can't believe the difference adding those seashells made," said Paula Watson, who had somehow been transported from a beige, run-of-the-mill bathroom to an unforgettable island paradise thousands of miles from the winter weather that greets each spring in Boson. "Every time I walk in here now it's like, 'Wow, where am I? Cancún?'"

With lots of time on her hands, the extraordinary transformation took place when Watson neatly arranged a handful of seashells she had collected last summer on North Wollaston beach inside a round wicker container and looked up to suddenly find herself at a beachside resort where all the troubles of modern life just melted away.

The magical seashells, which are able to conjure up the cool, tropical breeze of a seaside cabana, were in on a shelf in the couple's garage for several months in a card board box.

'Islam Is Right About Gays' Leaflets Taped To Signs Around Town - Police Launch Manhunt - 28 Sept 2019

Boson, MA: Some residents are outraged that leaflets bearing the words "Islam Is Right About Gays" have been fixed to telephone poles and parking signs around the city.  One angry woman took a photo of the sign before ripping it down and bringing the leaflet to the police station to show police. "This is not 'free speech'" a visibly angry woman said.  "This is 'hate speech' aimed at both the Muslim race, and gay people." Police have said that they will see if there were any witnesses to the criminal trespassing committed when the papers were affixed to the utility poles, which are private property, and the street signs, which are owned by the city. City Councilor Ema Strickland said, "The blame for this type of hated is ultimately the fault of our Republican Mayor Welsh who is both Homophobic and Islamophobic.  Additionally this goes right to the top and I blame President Trump." Mayor Welsh said he had not seen any of
