discussing Boston, no one has mentioned the
real
risk of that city. It's driving. In Boston, it's a blood sport.

I lived there for over 10 years and the driving "skills" I acquired have
been of immeasureable use to me in other cities. NY cab drivers? No
problem! Tame!

So, how do you think my beat up car got that way?

Ya can't beat it, a fairly good education at a smallish college in Cambridge,
driver's ed (postgraduate level) in Boston. . .

The hardest thing was taking flying lessons with a Boston residing CFI. "You're
supposed to yell 'clear' to warn people," he said, "but man, if you drove out
here from Boston, I don't know how could could."

And then there was the Division of Motor Vehicles.
