There are a few joys about the East Coast I temporarily forgot about before my flight landed in Boston's Logan airport this evening. One of which is the crazy cabbies that pervade big cities like Boston and New York. The cabbie that transported us from the airport to the Marriott seemed relatively normal until he took out a median right in front of Copley Square. This caused the cab to immediately get not one but two flat tires. It was good for a chuckle (only because we were right in front of our hotel).
The other thing I temporarily forgot is how hostile Northeastern-ers can be. As we were de-planing, a man - who apparently left a bag on the plane - was nearly gunned down by vocal abuse from a United gate worker. Apparently the man was in some sort of security violation. However, the United worker seemed to lack some tact with his approach to dealing with the situation. Can't recall the last time I heard a San Diegan yell like that in public. A San Diegan's response would have likely began with something like, "Dude, why are you re-entering the plane? That's not cool - it's against our security regulations." But that's the difference between East and West Coast-ers.
