What a mess.

Been there, done that, but we were in 8 to 10 foot waves at the time.
All of our galley cabinets have heavy duty latches now.


I wonder what the speed limit was in that area, and how fast John was
going... I mean, if the roads were under construction, the speed limit
could have been down around 40-45 in the city loop. Seems you might be
moving a bit faster than that to do that kind of damage, and there is no
way I am going to believe a "five inch" dropoff, all the way across the
road...


No road under construction. Normal speed limits - probably 65, although maybe 55. Well, maybe the
drop off was only 3", I didn't get out and measure. They were worse than anything I've ever seen on
an overpass. There were three or four on the stretch around Boston.

I can see a 2-3 inch drop off and in a "non construction" area.... In CT
at least you would see a sign that indicated a "bump" or something
"ahead".... But yeah, I can see 2-3 inches... I guess I am more
familiar with how roads "work" up here and I drive with a trailer on
more than not so I "smell" stuff like that coming Not to mention, I am
somewhat neurotic and even superstitious in some of the precautions I
take before, and when towing a trailer.. I won't go deeper than to say
those of you who have paid attention over the years have heard me refer
to the "walk around" I do before my wheels ever move, ever.... no matter
what...
