Boston; The Sights, the Sounds, and the Signs

When driving around Boston, seeing the sights of a cabbie flipping off another driver, and hearing the sounds of the other drivers cursing the cabbie that just flipped him off can be a entertaining experience.  Unfortunately, I am not here to talk about them.  I am here to talk about street signs in Boston.  They are notoriously confusing and misleading.  For instance, driving home from The Barking Crab one evening, I saw a sign: ‘Route 93 right’.  Now, there were four signs labeled ‘Route 93′ in the next 100 feet.  The first two were labeled Route 93, and oddly enough, the other two were also labeled Route 93. Well, that is understandable, i suppose.  But this next sign was the best of the best.  It was an exit of the highway, exit 37.  Only a small barrier blocked the the drop off from the highway.  That amazed me.  But, i suppose, The Big Dig is going on, so I will cut Mumbles Menino some slack.  Anyway, for now, just watch where you are driving, and if you can’t decide which one of the four on-ramps to take, eeny, meeny, miney, mo always works….

That Guy is Wylde!

Zakk Wylde.  Great player, not so great look.  Before and After.  Take a look for yourself.  He was actually normal!  Now, he is, dare i say it, wylde looking.  But he still plays a mean guitar, as does Slash.  They are both world famous, and real good.  Just watch this. Oh yes…

Do Something Productive With Your Free Time, and I Don’t Mean This

People do lots of different things with their free time.  Some read, some do home improvement, but in the case of Ben Tyers, Brian Lum, Andrew Hicks, Ed Sharp, Kay Yamazaki, and Tom Baynham, they turned their house into a huge Rube Goldburg Machine.  Now before you start leaving me comments about how it’s not real, watch the whole thing…  Now you can say what you want.
