I stood on the leading edge,
The eastern seaboard at my feet.

Go on and give it a try,
Why prolong the agony, all men must die.

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school,
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool,
Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band,
That needs a helping hand,
Oh, Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face.
-- Rod Stewart, "Maggie May"

I suppose some of the variation between Boston drivers and the rest of the
country is due to the progressive Massachusetts Driver Education Manual which
I happen to have in my top desk drawer. Some of the Tips for Better Driving
are worth considering, to wit:
[110.13]:
"When traveling on a one-way street, stay to the right, so as not
to interfere with oncoming traffic."
[22.17b]:
"Learning to change lanes takes time and patience. The best
recommendation that can be made is to go to a Celtics [basketball]
game; study the fast break and then go out and practice it
on the highway."
[41.16]:
"Never bump a baby carriage out of a crosswalk unless the kid's really
asking for it."
