Some Windshield Thoughts
The commute on I93 South from the Andover area has been particularly brutal lately. Plenty of windshield time to do some thinking.
- The Boston Globe headline “Big Dig Benefits: A Quicker Downtown Trip” is burned into the back of my retinas. The article starts out “The $14.6-billion Big Dig project has cut the average trip through the center of Boston from 19.5 minutes to 2.8 minutes..”
Which of the 5,000 mathematical geniuses in Cambridge figured that out?
- They should put the Rose Kennedy Greenway underground so people stuck in traffic have some good scenery to look at.
- What has the commute done to me when I start looking forward to Paulie Beernuts calling Sports radio?
- The navigation system started laughing at me when I got onto 93 South.
- I thought $3.00 a gallon was supposed to reduce the number of cars on the road.
- I saw a state trooper with a radar gun out and there was no car going more than 10 miles an hour…there’s a good money maker for the state!
- Bono is the coolest guy on the planet.
- Can’t wait for a couple of more high rises to come on line in the city!
- There’s a sign at the Stoneham zoo that says “Jaguar Cubs”. It changed to “Jaguar Grandparents” right before my eyes.
- Cardinal Egan on Imus is hilarious..”B’jesus”
- I went to a wedding in Stowe Vermont in about the same time as my round trip commute on Tuesday…go figure!
- One of these days I’m going to pass my wife heading north on 93 to pick my boys up at school while I’m still trying to get into the office on 93 south after dropping my boys off!
- I’m getting old when I start hearing Bon Jovi on an oldies station!
- Ron White (Tater Salad, You Can’t Fix Stupid, I Had the Right to Remain Silent…But I Didn’t have the Ability”) on the Comedy Central is a very funny guy.
- No commute that lasts longer than a large cup of coffee is good and can lead to kidney failure.
- I laughed when I heard of personal Port-o-Potties being used in cars in I believe, Thailand during traffic jams… I just signed up for a franchise!
