Auto Show. Kinda boring.

So my friend Dave and I went into town for the auto show. Now I've always like cars but aside from exotics and custom jobs all the other cars were much like the cars you see on the street. Now I was perfectly willing to take public transportation because getting around Boston by car can be quite a trial but Dave said he didn't mind driving and he knows the city quite well. I did find it amusing hearing Dave say that he wondered why more people didn't take the T, the name given to public transportation as he volunteered to drive in. Not that I'm complaining. I don't know how people do this every day. I worked in town a few times and if I worked an early shift it wasn't too bad especially if I had the 6 a.m. shift. I could be there in 15 minutes. Any later and it was an hour. When I worked near Fenway Park and there was a ballgame it was it was not fun.

It rained all day Friday and it really didn't stop until around 6a.m. Saturday morning. Not only that but the temperature was 61 degrees this morning but by this evening it will be in the 20's. All the snow from last week is gone. Still what happened around here is nothing compared to what's going on in Southern California. Those poor people. The snow storms seem kind of trivial compared to the fires and the landslides. I guess you pay for your thrills when you live in southern California.





Below is a quick video from the show.



 
Three shots as we sat in rush hour traffic though there was nothing "rush" about it. 


 
 
Last week.
 
This morning.
 
So that's about it for this edition. Tonight it's over to Arlene's for supper and the Patriots game. Could they do it again? Hope so!
I'm outta here.

  1. I think an auto show could be a little boring for many of us who are not big car people

  2. Those buildings are very impressive. You can keep that traffic, though, and the auto show. Not my idea of fun. A while back you posted some really neat pictures of the cars at a show. I did like seeing those! The Mister tells me your Patriots did it again. Our snow is not gone! Snow is better than mud!

  3. Paul, Thank you and Dave for taking me along to the auto show...but honestly my tummy hurts form the stress of the traffic. LOL Dang too close in spots. That Big Dig when is it ever going to be done or is it? We have a small town called Bunker Hill north of us...It was an Air Force Base and now there's a big prison there. There's still some planes on display there. I loved hearing you and Dave talk..your accent you know. Yes, I am sure you would be hooting and hollering about mine. LOL. Blessings to you, stay safe and warm. Hugs to Arlene. xoxo, Susie
