I don’t think speed cameras are even legal in Massachusetts. Accelerate away! I do, too, when there aren’t a bunch of idiots slowing to a crawl at the plazas.

Check behind it for finger and handprints. There might be a serial killer in the loose.

Maybe in the past, but not nowadays. Thursday seems to be the worst since all the kids went back to school.

I think you may be repressing pre-pandemic memories. Friday traffic, especially the evening commute, was always the worst in my experience. Everyone leaving the city for the weekend for the beach or mountains I think was to blame.

Friday has been the lightest traffic day lately. A lot people work from home on Fridays now.

Check out Ayer. Small town and has a commuter rail stop. Pretty cheap compared to neighboring towns like Groton and Littleton.

And now I’m reliving the pickled herring in mayonnaise that I ate in Norway.

The milk has the same consistency as cottage cheese, too.

Thanks! I can picture this easily so should be a snap to find. I almost bought a house right there but went for West Boylston instead

Where in Clinton? I live in West Boylston and haven’t heard about this and would like to check it out.

Because it’s nice to be reminded how beautiful the state is even though it’s populated with a lot of annoying people that complain about nothing and try to make us as morose and angry as them?

I’m fully convinced that when they “planned” Boston roads they just tossed a handful of wet spaghetti at a map and made the roads where the noodles landed. The Newton Corner area is truly an affront to logic and probably worst of the worst.

Ditto! I get right on the car’s bumper in front of me and let the middle finger fly for those trying to sneak in. It warms my heart when our fellow like minded souls follow suit and let the assholes chill in that triangle patch at the exit.

I got your back. I rarely stop at the sign unless there’s tons of cars. Most of the traffic comes from assholes trying to skip the line or from people too scared to pull past the stop sign if they see any car coming.

> In addition to the standard serial formats, Massachusetts also issues "reserve" plates. Reserve plates permit the plate holder to receive the same serial number when new plate styles are issued, or to transfer the serial number to family members. These plates are either all-numeric (1 through 99999) or consist of a single letter followed or preceded by a number (A 1 through Z 9999 and 1 A through 9999 Z). Reserve serials may also be of the forms A#A, A##A, #A#, and #AA#, where # represents any number, and A represents any letter. Low-number reserve plates – now called "Lottery Plates" by the RMV – are of the forms #, ##, ###, ####, A#, A##, #A, and ##A only. When a registrant cancels a low-number reserve registration, the number is placed in an annual lottery.

You get a 0-9 if you have a regular vehicle just like I said. Doesn’t matter if you buy in November or December December or January. This just means you’ll have to pay to renew sooner.
Edit: they use the last day of the previous month as your registration expiration. So, if you register in November you’ll get a plate ending in 0 for October. If you register in January or December you’ll get leftover plates from other months.

Yep, 1-9 are Jan-Sep and 0 for October for regular vehicles. Commercial vehicles are all Nov and Dec and vanity plates are Nov.
