I live one town over from North Dartmouth. For the 8 years I've lived here, I've been muttering under my breath that this has to be the stupidest region of Massachusetts. Thank you, Cory for the confirmation.

Some recent observations:

Although I can't be 100% sure, I'd swear that as gas prices get higher people seem to be driving faster. If this is the case I assume that the logic behind this is something along the lines of "If I get where I'm going faster I'll use less fuel!"

I've also noticed an increase of Hummers on the road over the past couple of years. Kind of weird for an area where the income is 15% below the state average.

Cool a Bronson Pinchot stamp!
