My friend took the time to share it with his friends, and so I am taking the time to share it with you! The following is a copy of his post.

Hello friends,

Late Tuesday afternoon I was riding my bike and was hit by a cab. I was in the bike lane, going 20-25 mph when out of nowhere the cabbie took a hard left, cut me off and I hit him head-on. It happened so fast I didn't have time to brake, swerve or yell. The only thought I had was "#%^&, I'm dead!"

What a disgrace! Come on, you Massholes! Let's try harder! Maybe next year we won't finish second...

(I'm talking to YOU, anon - Step It Up!)

Miami Voted Worst City For Road Rage

Lexington Auto Service charging $4.29 a gallon for regular.

Only Massachusetts requires police details at road work sites. Boston drivers are from Massachusetts. Coincidence? DrivingLikeAss.Com thinks not.
The new DLA Labs study, Traffic Authority Figures & Their Effectiveness in the Modification of Ass-like Driving Behavior: A DLA Research Study, points to a possible sensory cortex dysfunction among Boston drivers. On the other hand, it could also be that they just like driving like ass.

It's amazing what you can do with some yellow paint and a "No Parking" sign.

Alicia normally just accepts double parking as a way of life in not-so-gritty Southie. But the driver of a BMW SUV double parked outside the PS Gourmet Coffee on Dorchester Street, keeping people from turning right, really got her dander up:

... [T]here was a lady behind the wheel just chatting on her cell. In that situation, if you're waiting for a friend, why not unblock the right hand lane and pull about 20 feet forward onto East Broadway? It's just common courtesy, people!

UPDATE: Bikers leave one man unconscious after mob-style beating.

Cambridge Police report two guys, apparently fed up with a motorist who "swerved into and encroached upon" the Mass. Ave. bike lane around 11 p.m. on Saturday, caught up with the car, dragged the two people out and began beating them - one into unconsciousness - in front of 250 Mass. Ave.. Both alleged perps arrested.

Fortunately, a passing motorist spotted the tot, picked him up and dialed 911, Boston Police report.

And what was he doing wandering around by himself then?

Around 4:15am, officers responded to Kempton St. for a report of a missing three-year-old child. There, officers spoke to a mother who reported that she had left her three year old at home with her 18 year old daughter around 11pm and came home around 3am to find her front door open and her three year old missing from his bed. The caller stated that she looked around for her son unsuccessfully and then called the police.

Detectives and DSS are now on the case.

Meanwhile, police report that carousers who party together stay together. Around 2:20 a.m., police told a group of people causing a disturbance at 157 Brighton Ave. in Allston to move along. Apparently, they moved along to the South End, where, around 4:30 a.m., police responded to a report of a fight at 661 Tremont St. They say they found the same group of people:

Officers gave the group numerous orders to disperse, all of which were met with negative results. Officers continued to monitor the group which continued to move along but maintained their disorderly conduct. One particular individual was being louder and causing a scene. This individual was yelling and being confrontational with officers despite their orders for her to be on her way.

And that's how a lass from Lynn got pulled in.

Putting the kidlet to bed about 20 minutes ago, we noticed down the hill - where Poplar Street in Roslindale become West Street in Hyde Park - some flashing blue and red lights. Looked to be a couple of fire trucks and a couple of cruisers. And she insisted I post something here in case anybody knows what was going on there - given that I was disinclined to put shoes on and drive down there (yeah, I'm a slug).

Lino takes a trip to Millennium Park in West Roxbury and is amazed by the number of SUVs in the parking lot:

... I counted a total of 66 vehicles. Out of a total of 66 vehicles I saw 2 pickup trucks, 3 minivans, and 33 SUVs making a total of 38 gas guzzling vehicles. I realize that West Roxbury is one of the most affluent parts of the city of Boston but a parking lot where 57% of the vehicles are gas guzzlers, I sort of wonder about the mental stability of some of these people. Don't they realize that bigger is NOT always better. ...

Two things: Not everybody there is from West Roxbury. Millennium Park is sort of the regional soccer center. But then again, this is West Roxbury, where one pizza place (Target Pizza on Washington Street) uses a Hummer H2 to deliver pizzas.
