Thank you for commenting Liz. I believe you can tell a lot about a person by watching how they drive.

I suspect you’re right. Driving does bring out the inner demon in some people, particularly if they’re driving in Boston.

Well, it does tend to demonstrate a person’s courtesy, aggressiveness, frustration levels and other traits. I’m lucky that where I live, I can still walk to drug stores, supermarkets, dentist, movie theaters, restaurants, etc. If it weren’t for that, I probably would have moved. Thanks again Liz for commenting.

When I moved back up to New England, I wanted to buy a house “in the village,” as we used to say, but we couldn’t afford it.

I can relate, for the last two years I’ve looked for a place close to where I currently live and property values have soared so much that prices are ridiculous now. Guess I am staying where I am.
