Do you know where you fit on the highway food chain? Were you even aware it exists? My father always used to joke about New England drivers, saying “when you’re on Rt 128, making eye contact is a sign of weakness. They’ll have you for lunch.”
I think I’ve written about this before, but I’m not sure I’ve properly accounted for my place in the traffic circle…

I had no reply for two things said yesterday:
“I don’t know how to ride the bus.”
“I didn’t have any money and I didn’t know what else to do so I put a little Crazy Glue on my cap and stuck it back in my mouth.”
