logan link

[rmd]

there is a great disturbance in the force -- the east coast end of interstate 90 has moved east to logan airport. both ends of I-90 no longer end close to the appropriate cities' chinatown/I-district neighborhoods.

i drove the logan link this morning -- it goes from what had been the end of route 90 to underground to the end of the ted williams tunnel and from there into logan.

on the way back out from logan, there was a speed trap in the logan-link-not-ted-williams-tunnel part. "inside a tunnel" is high up on the list of places where i don't expect to see a speed trap. but i guess they're working to discourage that "hey! it's a big wide road! let's floor it!" impulse in what's quite reasonably a 45 zone.

I drove the extension a couple days after it opened, and was disppointed that they still don't have a "Seattle WA: 3115 miles" sign at the start of it. I've heard some people refer to it as the "Massachusetts Turnpike Extension Extension". :-)

Years ago, I hit it off with someone at a UU conference, who lived in Seattle (and later turned out to be a friend of gosling's, and who later still married Gosling's best friend in Seattle, but that's beside the point). I was fond of saying about this, "we live at opposite ends of the same road... unfortunately, it's I-90."

Oh, you mean like the "Sacramento: 3,000 miles" sign at the eastern end of US 50, and the companion "Ocean City, MD: 3,000 miles" sign at the other end?
