Off IR for now
It is a monotonous ride through CT to Boston....would also hate living there.

It's not great, but I'll take this over maneuvering to the GW any day of the week.

COVID has ruined my ability to commute and deal with traffic in general
I never had the patience for traffic. I cant wrap my head around the concept. I know if you push more shit into a certain area, it gets crowded. But like... just drive at like 45 mph and we can all keep moving AND be safe.
First stop is ordered. It's going to be an expensive weekend.

When I used to travel to New England frequently, I preferred to brave the Parkway and take the Tappen Zee over taking the GWB and the Cross Bronx.

In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
My office actually moved during the pandemic, although thankfully out of downtown Montreal and quite a bit closer to my home. However, there is no simple public transit solution so I am back to driving after 20 years of commuter train. With the current lighter traffic, it's only a 30-minute drive, so I have nothing to complain about, except about the brain-dead motor vehicle operators around me.

Good news is that somehow upon being able to exchange it I got a $33.12 refund.
What a time to be alive.

That isn't how it works at all. When you see a line of vehicles proceeding to your exit, you floor it two lanes beyond, pass as many people as possible, slam on your brakes while veering across the two lanes, and then barge your way in. As long as you put your turn signal on, the people who patiently remained in the appropriate lane are obliged to let you in. /s

I'm a fairly defensive driver, but thus is the one thing that I won't tolerate. I'll literally run my car into you if you try creeping over into my lane after I waited in a line.
You don't go and walk in front of everyone standing in line at the store, so why the hell do you think it's acceptable here, to?
I ordered it because it's a phenomenal beer. The correlation between this beer and the crappy Philly version is strictly by naming convention alone. If there's one thing Massachusetts is good for, it's beer.

That Peanut Butter and Coconut Quad and the Vanilla Bean sound really intriguing....
Very jelly of your trip, minus driving on 95 through CT. That drive blows
There's more too, obviously.. that's just all that would fit on the screen. 3 cases all in from TH. Probably looking at another 2 from trillium, and then we'll see what I feel like doing at Beer'd on the way back
When I lived in DC and had to drive up to Maine to visit my parents I would leave in the evening so I would get to NYC at like 2 am. You can just breeze through Manhattan and over the GWB.

$6 and up for micro brew per can.
$50 for 24 Miller Lite
Granted its all tax though.
Wooof. Though, can prices are probably right, if you're talking CAD and not USD

Traffic is just people being dumb. Always. Even actual obstructions are made much worse by dumb people

I was the same way during lil Swami's 4 years at UCONN, and that was during the new bridge constructuon. Trip could range from 3h45 min, to 6 hours, all depending on CT traffic.

Yeah. No matter which route, you could NOT hit CT between around 3 and 7.
