Aw, Ron, we PRACTICE that one here in Boston!  There's a "whip
across all four lanes at 65 mph" variant which I saw twice last
week on the same stretch of highway (I-95 North, near Newburyport
MA).

Speaking of local(Boston-area) grumbles:  Who was the wise guy
	who mis-designed the merge of I-93 and US 1 (our two
	MAJOR inbound expressways from the north) and then had
	the gall to put the off-ramp for Storrow Drive (another
	major roadway) about 500 ft past the merge?  Can we make
	HIM/HER drive it every day at crush hour?
