MA is full of extremely aggressive drivers who will also inexplicably stop traffic to "let you go" when you don't have the right of way and haven't even asked for it. It's bizarre. I'm from MD and have only partially acclimated to MA driving. I was at work having a conversation with a bunch of natives about four-way stops in MA, which are basically a chaotic free-for-all. I said MA people seem to have a certain number of seconds they are willing to be stopped and when they feel they have waited long enough, they will just go, regardless of right of way. The people I was talking to admitted that they do this. I would simplify it even further: the rule here in Crashachusetts (I'm totally stealing that by the way) is to do whatever the hell you want and everyone else can suck it.  Pretty much. And strangely, people are jerks on the road but nice in person, which is sort of the opposite of where I grew up. |

I even had a guy once yell at me for not crossing against the light when he'd stopped for me. People are weird here. |

At 7pm GMT Anderson V Isner is 18-18 in fifth set and final set.!! Isner of one half of the longest match ever, We could be here a while....
Novak v Rafa have yet to start 2nd semi final. T
Anderson won 26-24 final set. Well over 6hours
Nadal and Djoc on court under the roof curfew(transport restrictions) mean they can play until 11pm GMT, if not finished on to tmrw!
Seriously what a day for those lucky enough to be there watching 2 matches over god know how many hours in the end.

I'm so glad Anderson won. Isner wanted to invite Trump to his match.
And, GO SERENA!
