Feel like an alien? Not me. You gotta admit, though, that the local driving
customs are....ah....different from most other places. I am *not* a native of
Boston, although I have lived here now for ~20 years. I like it quite well
enough to stay, any invitations for me to leave notwithstanding. Of course,
if Cape Cod disappeared (as it will someday), I'd be outta here!

Hey, I happen to be a native of New York City. G'wan and say whatever you
want about it, or about people who move up here from there and then have the 
gall to poke fun or complain.
