Used DoorDash for the first time recently. It's nice during the first month when they waive the delivery fees, but I can't see me ever paying a $6 fee to have fast food delivered to me. At least the fee for a couple local Mexican restaurants is only $2.

What’s the best documentary or movie to learn more about Whitey Bulger? I don’t know much about him besides he’s a mob boss.

How did 'Whitey' Bulger die? Here's what we know.

Officials did not disclose the cause of Bulger’s death, which will be investigated by the FBI. However, three sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told The Boston Globe that a fellow inmate at the West Virginia prison “with Mafia ties” is a subject of the investigation.

The New York Times reports that Bulger was beaten to death by at least two inmates shortly after his arrival, according to two FBP employees, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. One of the employees said the inmates were thought to be “affiliated with the mob,” but did not know the specifics of their ties. Another law enforcement official told the Times that he was informed by a federal official that “an organized crime figure” was believed to be responsible for Bulger’s killing.

Very odd that he didn't spend his first night there in the infirmary - this smells like a hit with help from someone on the inside.

WCVB is reporting that Freddy Geas is a suspect in his murder.

Apparently Geas is known to despise informants and is a Springfield mob enforcer with the Genovese crime family.

Old age takes everything away eventually. If I’m reading you right at least if worse came to worse you still have a good eye. I actually lost sight in both eyes for a few weeks. I thank God every day that I can still see. Hopefully some new medical treatment will make themselves available to you in the future. My daughter actually works for a biotech company in Cambridge. She tells me about all these new advancements in DNA level and molecular manipulative treatments that will revolutionize treatments for all kinds of maladies. We can only hope sooner rather than later.
Good luck to ya.
