Yeah, I flashed my lights at someone who I thought had their high beams on and forgot they were on...THEN they put their high beams on. I nearly ended up in some hedges 😂

I often wonder if folks are using their high beams or if newer cars just have headlights that are really way too bright. Cars that are very high up off the ground tend to shine a light right into my rearview too.

I love the mottoes on the electronic highway signs down there. Who writes them? Often give me a smile.

Reply to Who is is that keeps dumping hundreds of people in unsuspecting Massachusetts towns? by VulcanTrekkie45
The Martha's Vineyard situation and the situation in Kingston and Methuen are a little different. In the case of migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard, they were transported at the authority of Florida Gov. Ron De Santis.
In the case of Methuen the families being housed are a mix of people from the South Shore and migrants from other countries. They are being placed in hotels by the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development because there isn't room in family shelters.
A reporter in our newsroom did a story about the Kingston situation here: https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2022/10/27/kingston-official-says-town-needed-more-of-a-heads-up-from-state-about-families-being-housed-in-hotel

Reply to TIL that before Lincoln Center could reward David Geffen's $100 Million donation by renaming "Avery Fisher Hall" to "David Geffen Hall", they had to pay the heirs of Fisher - the original donor - $15 million. Geffen's donation has a provision that requires his name to be on the hall "in perpetuity". by AspireAgain
Was this a plotline in “Billions”? I dimly remember something of the sort.
