Getting Around

We found another grocery store to frequent tonight! It's called Shaws, and it's kind of like a mini Meijer.  Obviously, it doesn't really compare, but it should be good enough. All this driving around to figure out our offices, stores, gas stations, etc. has made us notice a few things about Mass drivers.

1.  You can make U-turns whenever you want in the middle of the road. I've seen it at least one a day.
2. There are many roads that appear to be one big lane, but in fact end up being two tight lanes. Drivers like to squeeze right next to you.
3. Mass must not like to spend money on road paint. A few of those 'one big' lanes are actually meant to be two lanes, but you can hardly see 1 in 10 dotted lines. Sometimes I feel like I'm driving on the road where Kramer widened the lanes to have a 'comfort cruise.'
4. Knowing the difference between situation #2 and situation #3 will take us some time. :)


Boston tip of the day: Per the locals, these crazy drivers are called 'Massholes.'
