Just for the record I love living on Cape Cod. I have lived here for 20 years and it is "la vida e bella" as they say... most of the time.
Now I know that tourism is the bread and butter for the Cape and far be it from me to crab about anything but it is nearly impossible to go anywhere on a Saturday in the summer. The Mid-Cape Highway is a parking lot in some spots and the drivers that are causing most of the problems are from Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. They seem to think of the streets of Cape Cod as the FDR on a Friday afternoon. You take your life in your hands making any kind of turns if they are around. The cutting people off, the passing on the left, the racing down side streets, no turn signals, the beeping of horns, all of it. You just want to grab them by their throats and say "Hey! Calm the fu@k down! This is vacation time and stop being so aggressive." But then that would make me aggressive so what's the use?
At least it's only for a few weeks. Ugh!
