- Last time I went to Boston, I was advised to keep the rental agreement
- at hand in case I needed to wave it at somebody. Sure enough, the
- yuppie/BDI in the 7-series BMW knew what I meant. (!peeve)
-
- Then I made a swerve at him, as if in retaliation, but without
- actually leaving my lane. Them things sure accelerate better'n a
- Dodge Shadow, but I was happily rid of another fool for a few seconds.
-
- As far as driving skills, Boston seems to be a BDI magnet.
- There's a lot of places I haven't been, but Boston was far
- worse than DeeCee or N'Yawk, IMO.
