It was a little stressful but much less stressful than waiting in horrific traffic tie ups in Old Town Alexandria. I also used to use my bike to take advantage of free parking in East Potomac Park when I worked at L'Enfant.Rootchopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920848117942799222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309738920939458358.post-55020217162485935652012-05-30T11:11:29.019-04:002012-05-30T11:11:29.019-04:00There's a dotted line that meanders from Dambu...There's a dotted line that meanders from Dambury area over to Narragansett that separates Sawx country from the other guys.<br /><br />I've ridden Providence to Boston in about 3 hours.

I live a long way from my work, and it's just not realistic timewise to ride the whole way. So most days, I drive until I get off the highway, about 5 miles from work, and then I ride from there. It's the best part of my day, especially if traffic on the highway is barely moving.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01628039193846190159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309738920939458358.post-79119566769743986172012-05-30T09:19:46.506-04:002012-05-30T09:19:46.506-04:00Big ups for the use of eschew, and for the Sox hat...Big ups for the use of eschew, and for the Sox hat. Only people for whom New York is the center of the universe (e.g., Yankees fans) think that RI is as close to NY as Boston. <br /><br />Growing up with a dad who's a Yankees fan in RI (which is prime Sawx country), I can say that if anyone could pull it off respectably, he would -- and he doesn't!Jacques (of all Trades)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17588873528490884871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309738920939458358.post-80843719040651491222012-05-29T22:40:50.109-04:002012-05-29T22:40:50.109-04:00Nice use of eschew which almost makes up for the u...Nice use of eschew which almost makes up for the unfortunate choice of MLB team gear. You know, RI, is almost equidistant from NYC as Boston. You do have a choice...<br /><br />Good luck with the car repair. I have two adult children who try to convince me they are no longer kids, but with great regularity expect me to support them on issues such as car maintenance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
