Paper guy wasn't there...No stack of newspapers...no milk crate...nothing.
Wear your black arm band.
I saw some guy behind me open his driver side door while we were stopped at a red light. Suddenly, liquid flowed down onto the asphalt...not sure if it was coffee or vomit...it was nasty looking either way.
I will be flying to NYC for a conference tomorrow...see you Wednesday.

High winds!! You could really feel it on the upper deck of the Tobin Bridge today...Being from the Merrimack Valley, I wasn't familiar with the Tobin growing up...I think I was in my 20s when I finally went over it.
Thoughts: I didn't understand how tall the bridge was in my youth...so I found it confusing that people chose to jump off the Tobin to commit suicide, especially since it was above water...Now knowing how tall it really is, water will not soften your fall...no matter how soft the Mystic River is...
Toll Booth operators have become increasingly more friendly in the past few months...it is a bit unsettling.
Let’s hope Paper Guy is back next week...I would hate for him to become a blog footnote...Plus, I have no ideas for a replacement in my daily rundown...
PLEASE PAPER GUY...COME BACK!

The community service crew was out on Storrow Drive in their fluorescent green shirts carrying large trash bags...thankfully not holding up traffic.
Hoping Paper Guy is relaxing on a sandy beach somewhere...
No, not Wollaston.

Here's the sitch: I forgot to add this to yesterday's post. Two people cut in front of me yesterday...did I react appropriately? Absolutely. I didn't flip off anybody. You let it happen unless they really do something ridiculous.
....which leads me to my next point...I love people don't exactly stop when they come to a 3 way intersection where they have to turn left. They sorta ease their way into traffic and then they expect you to let them in...Strange, courageous stuff.
I saw the temp. on a spinning bank sign today...the same that was displaying the temperature as extremely hot a while back...looks like they fixed it.

Paper Guy: Wearing his brown hat and scarf set.
Shady Gas Price: $2.31
Yelled at other drivers: Nope
Feared for my life: Nah
------------------------------
So, I got flipped off today. Let me see if I can explain the scene.
I came up to a red light. This particular road has 4 lanes. After the light turns green, all traffic progress to another traffic light, which is always red, about 150 feet away. The good news is that all four lanes of traffic continues to the next light. There are no lane drops. The bad news is the lane farthest to the right becomes a "straight only" lane...and I need to go left at the second light.
Well, I usually get myself into one of the three correct lanes at the first light. Today, not so much. I was in the right lane and I needed to get over. If I couldn't, I would obey the law and go straight...BUT if I saw any opportunity to get left, I would. The light turned green. One car hesitated. I didn't. I got in front of this guy and stopped at the red light right behind another car....no big deal.
Here I was, sitting at the red light and I just happened to look in my rear view mirror....and the dude behind me took this opportunity to express his thoughts about my maneuvering. His 'bird' was flipped sideways, parallel to the top of his dashboard. I guess it's like shooting guns in the movies...you always want to hold the barrel sideways because it just looks cooler.
As an added bonus, he opened his eyes wide as his bird was flipped to let me know he was downright "loco" and I made the mistake of my life getting pulling in front of him. I had a few choices...I could respond or do nothing. Since I had my sunglasses on, he probably couldn't tell I could see what he was doing. I remained motionless and watched him go back to fiddling with his radio or picking sesame seeds out of his passenger side seat's fabric. It was amazing to see how fleeting his road rage was.
After the light turned green, I progressed as I normally do and lost him immediately....so the dude wasn't even in a rush. If he had blown by me in a huff, then I would understand. I think he was mad that I caught him dosing at a red light...one of the cardinal sins of driving in Boston.
Don't you know I have a blog, punk? Don't mess with me.
Did I do something that was worthy of the bird? Please comment and let me know.

------------------------------
Got my car back...after paying 800+ bucks. Let's see what my warranty will cover...not all of it I am sure...
The one thing that was scary on the way to work was the van that decided to take a right onto the esplande right around the hatch shell...
I mean, that doesn't happen every day...and it's not cool that the dude in front of you has to slam on his brakes to accomodate....made my heart rate bounce up a bit.
I fixed my table that I put in yesterday's post...now you don't have to scroll to see my reviews.

| Band/Artist | Album | Grade | Comments |
| Love | Forever Changes | B+ | Hippie Dippy LA rock. Some of the lyrics are unforgiveable but the horn parts are nice. |
| Van Morrison | Astral Weeks | A- | I don't think any song has a chorus...and after 4 listens, I still don't understand what he's singing most of the time...but it's great background music |
| Velvet Underground | The Velvet Underground and Nico | B- | I almost gave it a C+ grade...I am trying...there are a few good songs on here, but I think I have to give it more listens. |
| Johnny Cash | Live at Folsom Prison | A | I am soooo on the Cash bandwagon....and I don't care. I should have bought this album 10 years ago when it was on my list...I bought Rocket to Russia instead. |

Feared for my life: Surprisingly no
------------------------------
It's weird, but people seemed to forget how to drive in snow today. For a light snow storm, people seemed to be taking it very seriously.
I need to take a picture of Paper guy. I am sure he will freak out and punch in my window...but this is the kind of risk I take for the blog.
I had to bring the car in for a tune up. I need to get it back before the end of today so I can drive to work tomorrow.

Paper guy made a sale. I think the Herald is 50 cents, but this guy handing Paper Guy a $1.00 bill and then shake off the change. I love the 'shaking off the change' hand gesture. It's close to 'shaking off the dealer' when you play Black Jack, but not quite.

The wife and I had to go to the doctor's office today in the morning...so I drove to work a lot later than I usually do.
Somehow, the guys who drive rusty vans who hunch way over their steering wheels wrapping both arms around them to make sure the airbags are pressed firmly onto their chests who take the broken lines as not lane boundaries but challenges to overcome in their quests to cover as much surface as possible are ALL on the road at 10:30 AM.
When I finally get the chance to pass them, I always take a look...and they always appear legally blind.
