This will be Boston-filled (although, how is that any different from normal?)

I find this pretty humorous considering I jaywalked in front of 8 cops waiting in Copley Square this afternoon.

Crossing the Longfellow Bridge earlier this week, I wasn't sure what irked me more: watching someone windsurfing on the Charles in 45 degree weather or the sheer fact that I was on the Longfellow Bridge.

And while we're on transportation in Boston, let me give bicyclists a little credit when I mention that apparently...sigh...it's legal for you to ride on a sidewalk "outside business districts, unless local laws prohibit sidewalk riding." HOWEVER: you still have to obey "all traffic laws and regulations of the Commonwealth", allow "pedestrians the right of way" and give them "an audible signal before overtaking or passing them". So the method of running a red light, swerving your way through an intersection full of pedestrians and swearing at them all as you pedal away still isn't quite legal. Just thought you should know.
