5 Things: Anything but Elections and Murder

1. Now that the election is over we can pay attention to what New Englander's talk about best: the weather. Have you heard about this Nor'easter?

2. Did you miss the attempted murder and car chase following a daylight robbery that were reported yesterday?

3. We have a winner in the local sports photo contest. Check out the colorful photo here.

4. The Marlborough Hospital is holding a community blood drive today for the American Red Cross from 12 to 6 p.m. There is a need for blood donors as the red cross has a critical shortage.

5. We included a bit of election distraction yesterday for those of you who were positively sick of the entire affair. The stories still remain a wonderful distraction today. Especially effective for time wasting is our cuteness overload article. If you are looking for something more substantial, we gathered together five news stories that had nothing to do with the election. Three of them are about Marlborough. Now you know.
