Well congrats. The very best "divorce machines" I have seen: SUVs and minivans. A few other vehicles, to be sure, but SUVs and minivans seem to take the prize here.
And just where do I see them? Heh-heh... On route 126, In Concord. Yep, right where Walden Pond ("Lake Walden", if you grew up around here) When: On hot, summer days,
when the heat and humidity are soaring. I take a ride out that way, and I always make it a point to mosey back via route 126. What I see: The reservation fills to capacity
on those days. So, all these vehicles are lined up on 126, waiting for the time when they will re-open. And.. None of the occupants are smiling. They all have this horrible look
of dread. Thus, I have always wondered just how many marriages/relationships begin their trip to splitsville, right there. And cyclists? Well, we just kind of ride past.
