Boston and its Tunnel Issues

I returned last night from a trip to Boston's Logan Airport where I picked up a friend from an international flight.

The Aer Lingus pilot probably had an easier time navigating the Atlantic skies and Boston's runways than did I finding my way to and from the airport.
I contend that "Tunnel vision" is the problem.

It seems that the Boston area is fraught with traffic issues now multiplied due to death and destruction -falling ceiling and tunnel closings . But I think that Governor Romney, though well intended, as he tries to deal with problems in the tunnel in his capital city has developed some "Tunnel Vision" himself.

It was wonderful for him to take a stand and oversee the problems (other than obscene financial ones) associated with "The Big Dig." But how short- sighted of Mitt not to place some much needed directional signs to the Mass Pike for tourists and out-of-towners who have to navigate the daily changes in the airport route while avoiding irritated local drivers as they search for access to highways.

When you do a job, do it well. I thought that's what was to be learned from the construction fiasco in Boston.
