Dental convention backs up traffic on Pike. State Trooper quoted as saying the problem was that all 28,000 attendees at the annual Yankee Dental Congress at the convention center seemed be on a molar express for the opening session, which really bit for people just doing their morning drill, trying to get somewhere else on the turnpike and I-93 this morning.

Two more, in the same basic area on the Southeast Expressway as the one that got wedged in a bus yesterday; one driver lost control and slammed into a Jersey barrier.

Couple this with Josh Simons's HazMat game (identify hazardous cargos by the numbers on the placards on the back of the trucks) and you get a new way to spice up the commute: "Say, Bob, whadaya think would happen if a flying manhole cover sliced through that truck with the '3' hazardous placard?"
