As one of my friends described it, he was all of a wreck watching his kids run around the tour site, because if any of them ever fell into the rushing current, he knew he'd have to jump in too... Not because he would ever have a chance of saving anyone, but just to make it look like he tried. "If one of them goes in, I have to go in too..."Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754406706300818849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26437387.post-1156530878636543942006-08-25T13:34:00.000-05:002006-08-25T13:34:00.000-05:00Welcome back, Jeff.

I've been to Niagra Falls before, but didn't get to see it from the boat, still it was very impressive!crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681674503952991492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26437387.post-1156457714414075282006-08-24T17:15:00.000-05:002006-08-24T17:15:00.000-05:00Hi Friar and Liam,Long time no see, Friar. I hope...Hi Friar and Liam,<BR/><BR/>Long time no see, Friar. I hope you’ve been well. :-)<BR/><BR/>Yes, we Massachusetts drivers have quite a reputation. Our signage and street layouts make no sense, so neither does the driving. Who needs signs that make sense anyway? If you don’t already know where you’re going, you shouldn’t be here anyhow. :-) I don’t know if it is lack of skill so much as general rudeness. <BR/><BR/>Directionals are for wimps.<BR/><BR/>When the light turns yellow, that means floor it.<BR/><BR/>When the light turns red, you’ve still got a second or two to go.<BR/><BR/>When the light turns green, if you’re not rolling already, the guy behind you will lay on his horn in about .003 seconds.<BR/><BR/>When you come onto the highway from a ramp, never glance at the oncoming traffic. It will be interpreted as a sign of weakness.<BR/><BR/>The breakdown lane on the highway is the high-speed lane that is used by motorists who wish to pass all of the laggards in the left-hand lanes.<BR/><BR/>I hear what you’re saying, but still, there are stereotypes about Canadian truckers that ring true. When you see an 18-wheeler cross two or three highway lanes at a time, it is daunting. I was driving a 12-passenger van that handled like a saltine box.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754406706300818849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26437387.post-1156429115842331792006-08-24T09:18:00.000-05:002006-08-24T09:18:00.000-05:00Welcome back, Jeff.I heard that statistically some...Welcome back, Jeff.<BR/><BR/>I heard that statistically some of the worst drivers in the country are from Massachusetts.
