I for one refuse to wave with more then one finger off the wheel, fire off twice as many bullets while making my shine, and only give directions using landmarks that haven’t existed for generations followed by rambling stories.

“Ayuh go north on 13, you’ll pass where the Johnsons used to have a dairy barn, back in about ‘68 it they sold the cows but kept the land to grow hay, then when old man Johnson passed his sons didn’t want it and his wife couldn’t maintain the grounds, so it fell into disrepair. A few people in town tried to get the conservation board to buy it as a landmark but they didn’t get enough funds so it fell to a developer, and that’s how that goes. Anyways, keep going north until you see where Curtis used to chop corn with his old combine before he switched to a diesel rig, this was back before they switched from sweet corn to that number 2 stuff and……”

Edit: legitimate directions I’ve gotten from my old man, and I remember him getting similar directions from my great grandfather. And I, happy to say, have found myself giving my wife directions in the same manner, referencing people who died or Moved away before I was even born.

Former NH ezpass employee here, there is unfortunately no special commuter discount. Just the 30% discount with a NH transponder. Remember to affix the transponder to your windshield right behind the rear view mirror.

People just don’t think things through. I’m preparing a speech for my town meeting to try to explain that the conclusion of their NIMBYism is insolvency. We can’t control the price of goods and labor. If they want the roads plowed and potholes fixed (which they complain about incessantly on Facebook) they have two choices: higher taxes or more taxpayers.

I have an 8am flight out of Boston on Thursday. This makes me extremely concerned. Probably a good idea to get to Boston tomorrow night and not chance it on Thursday morning, but do flights get canceled for the lesser amount of snow that Boston’s expecting?

I think you’d be surprised the amount of people that move here from mass then proceed to complain that it’s not more like mass. I’ve heard the most complaints about politics and lack of sidewalks (not sure which one is more stupid)

Have a sense of humor and don’t be a dick, I think that’s all that’s required for a warm welcome.
