p.s. ...so glad that it is YOU back in Foxborough this week and not ME!
I have heard the same thing, and living at the top of Alton Bay, I can pretty much confirm that to be true! It is unbelievable on NASCAR weekends!

Also, as for the jets... we took a scenic plan ride a couple years ago out of Laconia (got lots of great pixs!). I asked the pilot why, at times, there are an incredible number of jets parked at the airfield. He told me it was very specifically related to students coming and going from Brewster Academy (big bucks there!) events and vacations. I'm sure this would include summer events as well. I found that pretty amazing.

I also wonder if increased jet traffic might have something to do with Meadowbrook concerts as well.

Ditto: better you than me commuting! I did the Mass. commute for way too many years! Horror!
