Airport has always been tough to navigate, but after years and years of arrivals, depatures, pick ups and drop offs, I had it pretty well mastered. Now, in the aftermath of the Big Dig and Ted Williams Tunnel project, I&#8217;m back to square one. Thursday night&#8217;s trip to the cargo center at Logan was highlighted by an involuntary 2 way transit of the Splendid Splinter (aka <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Splendid_Splinter#Post-death\">Corpsicle<\/a>) tunnel ($3 toll, thank you very much) and beaucoup white knuckle driving. When I know where I&#8217;m going, I can do a pretty good job of getting into a Boston driving headspace (aggression punctuated by near psychotic behavior); when I&#8217;m unsure about turns or really need to get somewhere, I become one of the herbivores, cut out of the herd and slaughtered by predatory cabbies.
