Hypothesis: Boston was designed by crazy people

There is a reason behind the hypothesis.

Today I woke up early and was energized after spending loads of time with Bex and the Y and setting my own PR (yay). And then I had a super fun lunch with jess and handed over the insane math books she is borrowing from me for Calculus next year. I forgot how heavy they were! Have fun with that.

And then I left extra early for the airport. Thinking it would be way easier than it was to get there. I was screwed over first by the one way streets all over Coolidge corner, and then various other places in Allston where I thought someone was actually going to run me over. FABBB. I got into Boston, which is a nightmare for those of you who arent familiar with driving through the North End and the Financial District repeatedly like my GPS who is NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE BIG DIG did. I just LOVED dodging pedestrians and looking for no longer existing streets or trying to go the wrong way down a one way street. Thanks GPS. I officially hate you.

But it got me thinking. HOW THE HELL DO PEOPLE WHO DONT LIVE HERE DRIVE HERE? You basically cheat death switching lanes, slamming on the breaks to avoid stupid pedestrians and there arent signs for anything anywhere so you drive around and cant stop anywhere ever because there isnt space for it. I basically could SEE the stupid entrance to the highway to Logan, but I couldnt get there from where I was because there were so many one way streets. Turns out I needed to go down some sketchy, unmarked tunnel to get there first. Ok seriously guys. WHAT THE HELL. After 45 minutes of pain, I made it to the airport. Just minutes before Pookie almost took a Cab home because he didnt have a cell phone to call me with. GREAAAT. but at least I found him and all is well.

Rarr. Crazy people.

On a better note, Gala Darling's newest post is really sweet so I thought I'd share it with you : http://galadarling.com/
