1 - Number of totally soaked Saturday Boston Globes, inside a red plastic bag, left in a driveway.

15 - Architectural lights on the front of 77 Main St. Among these lights are four different kinds to illuminate signage, the facade, the walkway and the plantings. More than a bit of thought went into this lighting plan. Nicely done.

660,383,539,200 - In a light drizzle (14 drops per second per square foot) the number of raindrops that falls on Hopkinton (28.2 square miles) in one minute (estimate). Honestly, I thought it would be at least a trillion.
