I googled "sexy aliens" and am very disappointed in humanity, Mystique is mutant, not an alien, gosh somebody has absolutely no knowledge of X Men

Google knows what sites I visit, so I better not search for sexy aliens.

Rush hour here is 3 - 7. Teachers and the trades get off then. Boston is a particularly tough town to get around in general.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I investigated flying it. Took about 15 mins in Flight Simulator using a Mooney M20 Acclaim. But the nearest landing strip to her is too small for even a small single engine like the M20. I'd have to use a further away airport, making her drive a bit round trip versus just like 10 minutes.

Well shit, didn't know that. Never been to NYC but from what I knew about subways was the express trains catered to 9-5ers.

The three track layouts yes, they run express for commuters. The 4 track runs express in both directions till the overnights.

Boston is probably my least favorite town to drive in. It is a major pain. But figure rush hour is. 6 - 9:30 am. 3 - 7 pm.
