All quiet on the western river roads

Can it be? Nobody turned their box truck into a sardine can peeled back by an bridge on Storrow Drive, Mem Drive or Soldiers Field Road this Allston Christmas weekend?

We did have a near Storrowing, but the driver managed to exit at the Bowker Overpass with nary a screeeeee - because the U-Hauler exited onto Charlesgate from the inbound side, with its EZ-Soft (tm) curves, rather than the can-opening outbound side.

And yet, all those U-Hauls were getting onto our cow paths, careening all over and slamming into things and just generally making a nuisance of themselves - it's just that their drivers weren't taking the river roads.

But there's always Monday. And take solace in the fact that it's now always Labor Day on Storrow Drive, and the best storrowings can happen any day of the year now.
