The urge to shop rose up, and so I fired up the Mercury and drove down to Boston today. Left at 7 AM, got to my first shopping stop by 9. Talk about infrastructure. I93 down thru NH was in good shape. Not so in Mass. The contractor who laid the last coat of asphalt on the Mass end of I93 and Rt 128 took some cheapcut and the whole asphalt layer was peeling up, creating suspension wrecking potholes. Glad I'm retired and don't have to commute on that stuff anymore. I hit the big Salvation Army thrift store on US 1 and scored four decent shirts, a drinking glass, a muffin pan and a pyrex measuring cup. Then I got to Charles Ro, the Malden train store and scored a bunch of train stuff. Hit the Lincoln paperback book store on the way back and scored six paperbacks. All in all a reasonable day.
