This is weekend is, as anyone familiar with Boston knows, Moving Weekend, when some huge fraction of the population takes to their U-Hauls, not to mention the massive influx of college students. Then, of course, into the neighborhoods most affected by Moving Weekend, you throw a major entertainment draw, a Red Sox game, and a a carnival with parade, and you have a weekend full of traffic disasters, but not that out of the usual for Boston at this time of the year.

Now add in the funeral for a beloved local politician, which poses special security hurdles because the president will be there (not to mention all the living former presidents and half the Senate) (and "security hurdles" means "street closings" and "motorcades").

Did I mention that Boston's also going to get hit by a hurricane this weekend?
