Hmm. I clearly need to tie the two topics together.

I am sure Boston drivers wouldn't draw the line at committing oral sex while stuck in traffic on Rte. 128. Whether it would be illegal is less clear.

when you could film Storrow Drive

My dorm room looked out over Storrow Drive. Two days in a row we saw accidents involving the same type of cars (like two blue Hondas) at exactly the same time. Freaky.

I think drivers everywhere are crazy and bad in their own ways. I feel like Boston was the only place where drivers seemed to go out of their way to try to hit me as a pedestrian. Walking across Kenmore Sq. was always an adventure. Good thing I was young and had fast reflexes then.

I believe the recent supreme court decision overturned all state laws outlawing consensual oral sex while driving on rte 128.

Snerk.

Well, Dominic was a surprise, and I've already been told how THAT happened (sigh) so the separate post wasn't really necessary.

Also? The child does wee fists of rage. Is adorable. They have no idea where he got it from since they've never seen it before, but his whole body tenses up and trembles, he makes an angry pursed snarly face and shakes his wee fists of rage! So cute that it is VERY hard to keep a straight face. He also will tense up and tremble when he's ecstatic over something, but no fists, just quivers.

I'm moving back to BOSTON!

I have NEVER lived anywhere else where it was understood that you didn't cross the intersection when the light turned green, because if you did you would be broadsided by the oncoming traffic turning left.

hm. I don't do that as a matter of course. Sometimes you get to sneak that left turn in, sometimes you don't. It's all about paying attention!

I tend to deny left turners their opportunity to turn, but if they get the jump on me, then it's all good.

Who am I to talk- I hate driving in any state, anyway.

Yeah. I mean, I've not driven in Third World nations to compare Boston driving to its foreign equivalents, but it makes Dallas, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington D.C. all look calm and relaxing in comparison. The only time I get the same worrisome feeling while driving as in Beantown is when tornados or icy roads have driven all the sane drivers indoors and it's just me and the (other?) crazies out driving.

Whoo! Lisa's coming home!

Yeah, the pedestrian/bikers/cars tend to have to battle it out. It's just because there are so many of all of them, sharing the same space.

So, the Boston drivers would be less crazy if they had more oral sex while driving?

It's too backed up to get any real speed though.

Maybe during rush hour, but on both Storrow and 128 I've been in near bumper-to-bumper traffic that's in the 80+mph range (well, more 60-70 on Storrow - too many reverse curves and people coming on and off at short intervals - but still hella unnerving), and you have no choice but to keep up. It's amazing that there haven't been more massive pileups given what just one person screwing up could do to everyone else.
