[TriLUG] Bye bye Tiger

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

Hrm.  Having driven the distance from Boston Logan through the Ted 
Williams tunnel and back, a total of 3 times, having driven Raleigh 
numerous times (used to live there), and having commuted from 
Fredericksburg to Alexandria via I-95, I never thought Boston was that 
bad.  Maybe I'm sufficiently used to DC traffic?

I hear the folks in Atlanta are really bad too...
