Get off your high horse. Everything they said is true. You don’t have to be a Covid denying fox-watching moron to accept the fact that the vast majority of people out in the world don’t give a shit about Covid anymore. It’s never going away, and it’s still mostly mild, so we’re going to live our lives just like we did before this all happened.

People in the left lane regularly go 75-90+ depending on the highway. But yes, as every other commenter has said, the left lane is exclusively a passing lane. My two exceptions are two-lane highways when they get busy and a multi-lane highway that’s packed full. The left lane gets utilized way more when there’s a lot of traffic.

I remember ice skating on local ponds and lakes as soon as the temps dropped below freezing. They wouldn’t get a chance to thaw; just freeze deeper. Now they almost never freeze deep enough. They hardly freeze at all.

From someone who lives in Worcester county… the answer is Worcester county. There is a clear feeling of entering “Western MA” as soon as you pass Athol on Route 2. Also, towns like Holden, Rutland, and cities like Fitchburg and Gardner are west of the city of Worcester, but if you ask literally anyone who lives in those places if they think they live on western MA, they would say no, definitely not. I live in Fitchburg. I do not live in Western MA. It still takes me less than an hour to get to Boston, and twenty minutes to get to Worcester for Pete’s sake. Western MA is very sparse and rural, with the Quabbin area, the Pioneer Valley, and the Berkshires. That’s it. Worcester County is central MA, not western MA, and there is a difference.

…so what are you trying to say? Have you actually been to a state that looks like that second photo? I have, and neither Worcester or the New England in general look like that.
