Whewwwwwwww

Good morning commuters, I'm not sorry the heat's gone. It was too early for that. Sunny and 60, that's my mantra. Traffic was pretty heavy this morning due to some incidents on the roads. Rte. 93 had it's problems this morning, but I will say, despite not leaving Medford till about 8:30, I was parking in my building in the Financial Center at 8:55. People, WAKE UP, get a carpool buddy or two. Two women were pulled over because they must have tapped each other. Probably on the phone not paying attention. Have a good day. Go Sox.

Summer in the city

Good morning commuters, there's a taste of summer out there this morning. It would seem as though everyone had their wake-up beverage this morning. All was quiet on the roads, although the traffic appeared to be very heavy. There is no accounting for why traffic is heavy on one day and not the next. I've learned that there is absolutely no being analytical with Rte. 93. Just when you think you have it mastered, it slaps you upside the head with a massive traffic jam that has no rhyme or reason. I'm not complaining. I feel sorry for all the people who drive by themselves in the morning. I think they have a bigger chance of getting into an accident. When you're by yourself, you get bored and don't pay attention to the road. Your mind wanders. I always have someone talking and keeping me on my toes. GO RED SOX!!!!

Monday morning blues

Good morning commuters, I have a case of the Monday morning back-to-work blues. The commute wasn't bad this morning. Thanks to everyone for being careful on the road this morning. It's a great day in Red Sox Nation with a sweep of the Yankees (how can anyone be unhappy after that), and Jacoby Elsbury stealing home plate. It just doesn't get any better than that. I was sick for a few days so I wasn't posting. Spring colds seems to be floating around. Take care, stay safe, and remember, do a random act of kindness a day. It really does make you feel better.

Cool - Calm - Collected

Good morning commuters, it was a pretty civil ride on Rte. 93 today. Not much action. Fortunately for us, road tie-ups were not on 93 this morning. The sun was shining and all seems to be right, for now. Catch me later this week. Thanks for being alert this morning. Remember, do a random act of kindness a day. Thanks.

Dog-eat-Dog

Good morning commuters, it was an interesting commute this morning. There were quite a few IDIOTS on the road this morning doing really idiotic stuff. More stupid stuff than usual. People blatantly cutting off other people. Moving from lane to lane with no blinkers. Jamming on their brakes. Really, PEOPLE, if you are going to cut someone off at least do it with a little finesse. It was dog-eat-dog this morning. I'm hoping that the traffic will be lighter tomorrow, Good Friday. Maybe it was Red Sox Nation in a bad mood after the loss to Tampa Bay last night. There is an upside however, the Yankees lost again. Looks like the top of their rotation is sinking fast. Let's hope people are a little more civil tomorrow.

Texting while driving

Good morning commuters, it was a fairly easy drive in this morning and yesterday morning. I do want to bring up one issue with people who like to "text" while driving. Are you people out of your minds???? It takes every ounce of concentration to monitor the traffic in front, on the side and behind you, without your attention being diverted to your phone or Blackberry. Yes, I'm talking to you Blackberry users also. If you have something to say that is soooooo important, take yourself to the breakdown lane and respond to your message. Don't put everyone else in danger trying to drive and text at the same time. It really pisses me off that you care so little for my safety. I work very hard in the morning to have my coffee before I leave my house so that I'm awake and alert before I get on the road. Between the nut jobs texting, the people swerving in and out of traffic to get one car ahead of the next person, it's a job just trying to get to work safely. I'm the driver this month, so I'm responsible for getting 4 other people to work safely, and you are not helping me. Enough said on that issue!!!!! All is right with Red Sox Nation. First game is under our belt and the Yankees Suck!!!!! CC who???? Enough said on that issue!!!!!

TGIF

Good morning commuters, it's Friday again, thank God. The commute was pretty easy yesterday and today. Not much happening on the roads, and that's a good thing. Monday is Opening Day a sure sign that Spring is here. Everyone have a great weekend and stay safe.
