He actually took a picture of the person (I know) and sent it to me. There were no breasts to be seen, completely covered but you could see the tubes leading into the milk bottles. The person looked like a man...who knows these days! I did pump when my kids were young, but not while i was driving.

That's the thing I don't get. Folks do blatantly wrong/illegal things, and then get pissy when someone calls them out on it.


Happened to me this AM. Coming to a stop at a red light and someone was turning left onto my road from my right hand side. They were trying to make the light so they were speeding and cut the corner a good amount. I had to slam on the brakes or I would have hit them.

I honked, and they proceeded to flip me off.

Yep, how dare you honk at them. They have somewhere important to be and aren't going to sit thru another red light...they're making that turn NOW so get out of their way!


Joking aside....I have noticed that I've had to use my horn an awful lot lately. That's one thing the New Yorkers have down that I've adopted. Anyone who does a blatantly stupid move around me they get a long, obnoxious NY style honk. Not just a quick, polite honk...it's more like a minimum 5-10 second one to make sure they're aware that they are an idiot.

I also agree that MA maybe has a lower incidence of dying in an accident because we do have so much traffic. However that doesn't mean that all or most people here drive safely and are bionic creatures who will not die in an accident. Someone died last night right near me in one, another in critical condition.

What is it with Duxbury and bad crashes? Quick search reveals about 5 in the last year and there are more...

I've heard that this particular stretch of route 3 is known for accidents. This happened yesterday also:

It seems easy enough to navigate to me.

Compared to Maryland I basically never see car accidents/wrecks in MA. Here abandoned cars on highways, tow truck of every different size, speed bumps, speed humps, elevated parking lot entrances, traffic cameras, speed cameras, and most of all- car wrecks are an incessant feature of life. I hate it, miss MA road culture and freedom terribly.
