We got talking about the technique of driving their. One of his comments was well worth repeating... "When ever you encounter a red light, it means that four more cars can go through the intersection." He said this with a scary sense of conviction. My only visit to Boston was in a cab (never to be done again). I was on my way back to the airport when he told me that a truck had broken an axle in the tunnel (the name of which I don't remember) which headed that way. He said, "Don't worry, I'll get you there on time!" I've never been back since. Scott Brunton P.S. If I was able to get tickets to see the Bruins play, I might consider returning.
