Lost!

No, no, not the TV show. Me, trying to find my way from downtown Boston to East Boston by following the signs to the airport.

Some of you will understand why I ended up in Dorchester.

THE STREETS IN THIS TOWN WERE LAID OUT BY COWS!!!! DRUNKEN COWS!!!!!!

And the signage was done by demented "Bert and I" fans.

I can so relate to this! I have been lost many times in Boston, though not in as concentrated a fashion as I was in Houston when I was there for a few days in June, and it is utterly frustrating getting funneled onto the wrong road, knowing exactly what happened, and being totally unable to change the situation there. It's easier for me, living out of town and having to use the Pike, to get to Logan than it is when I have to spend the night in Boston beforehand.

And I agree about the inebriated state of the cows when they designed the roads. Disgraceful, really, though I'm sure that their milk, when added to sufficiently strong coffee, would make a nice, crude version of a mudslide.

The Big Dig, as near as I can tell, has only made the situation worse. Only now you have the opportunity to be lost underground for the entire length of down town instead of being trapped on the bridge looking longingly at the building you can't get to.
