A good friend and I were having a conversation yesterday about the weather, ok about more than the weather. After a gorgeous New England summer we have been getting monsooned with rain the last few days. Anyone who has lived in Massachusetts knows what happens with any form of precipitation: people forget how to drive. As I sat cozily in the warm yoga studio finishing my day's tasks my friend went on about the apparently horrid fiascos happening on the highways in the rain: switching lanes, un-kept speed limits and (gasp!) driving without your lights on. As a Massachusetts native I felt it was my right to defend my state and those licensed within it. The conversation then switched to how different drivers in difference states and their own rules of the road. We discussed PA. While driving later that evening, thumping and splashing over rain soaked streets, I saw a car from PA that was driving erratically (probably just lost). As I started to get frustrated I went to switch lanes to avoid the lost driver. Then I realized my lights weren't on...
