Driver's Ed

Let's move on from tears to traffic. Driving around this place is like playing some sort of crazy video game. Lanes merge in and out, construction pops up at every turn, and in some places it is hard to tell whether there is one lane or two, sort of a make your own road thing.

Phoenix is one gigantic grid, so we got adjusted pretty quickly, but I'm pretty sure the road system around Boston was designed by a sugar high toddler who snagged a contraband sharpie pen and went at it.

One of my bestfriends is from here and she has always been a pretty amazing driver, now I totally see why. I know she has always cringed a little at my driving skills, so I thought of her as I was making my way across town today. I almost picked up my cell phone to call her, but decided to wait until we got back.

Better to keep both hands on the wheel and the gas pedal down.
