Ah, yes.  Boston in the summer...I had the opportunity to attend the World Science
Fiction convention in Boston a couple of years ago.  I drove.  My overwhelming
impression of Boston streets could be expressed by taking a box of spaghetti and
marking one way arrows on every piece (some starting in the middle and going
both ways, e.g., <- ->; I swear that some *MUST* have been -><-, too!).  Also,
that the airport is on the isle of Avalon, because I couldn't get there the same
way any two days in a row.  And I never ran into so many people who considered
it important that your forefathers immigrated on a wooden boat instead of a steel one...

But there is one redeeming feature of Boston.  The seafood.  I'll never be able
to scuba in New England waters after that trip; the lobsters must know about me,
and they'll get me if I let them...

As for Denver Boots...if any SOB puts one on my car, he/she had better be ready
to lose it.  If I have to, I'll buy an oxy/acetylene torch to cut the damn thing
off.  I can't bomb towing companies (and I'd love to--anyone from Chicago knows
that Steve Goodman had it right with "Lincoln Park Pirates"), but putting those
damn things on my car--whether I owe parking tickets or not (the big issue in
Chi town now; and no, I owe no tickets, nor am I likely to be a Boot recipient
unless its a mistake)--is a violation of my property.
