Now I Remember...

...why I hate coming to Los Angeles. It's not the smog, which I'm used. It's not the people, which I can avoid. It's the traffic and the way people drive like mindless morons that drives me insane. Not once, not twice, but three times driving through the little town of Rialto west of San Bernadino, stalled cars on the shoulder caused traffic to back up for miles. There was no accident. There was no blood. No fire engines, cops or ambulances. Just stalled cars. Yet people feel compelled to slow down, crane their necks and get a better view. Personally, I think this should be a capital offense with sentences to be carried out on the spot. Anybody who willfully creates more traffic, especially in a major urban center known for congestion problems needs to be drawn and quartered.

Then there's those people who drive the speed limit in the passing lane. Where did I put my gun again?

Yes, the traffic there sucks.

Andrew, did you call Joe Perkins at U.S. Airways?

He called and left another message for you today as a "follow up" - you need to call him.

I used to live in Dallas, and we had similar traffic "behavior". It tested my patience more than once. I've heard people here complain about traffic, but I've never been stuck in anything that lasted more than five minutes.

(btw - "here" is Virginia Beach.)
