Isn't it the way...

Yesterday I washed the kids' snow gear to put it away for the season. Today it is snowing. Of course.

Yeah, I knew intellectually the traffic is bad in Seattle too. It's just that I've seen how far you have to drive for everything in the LA area before. I have a cousin who lives in Orange County. You could not pay me enough to live like her family does. My ideal situation includes being able to walk for errands like groceries. Not that I can do that now, but maybe before too long.

Yeah, it would take an insanely good proposition to deal with So Cal traffic on a regular basis. I consider Seattle to be not quite as bad....5 years of increased population while not actually building out any of the roads or bridges to accomodate more traffic. There are still less people in Seattle, but fewer lanes means about the same level of frustration, especially when anything actually goes wrong.

The bay area isn't nearly so bad. Today, I had to run my rental back to the airport (uh, 8-10 miles each way) during "rush hour" and I made it in decent time. It helps that while I was gone, they upgraded a few critical junctions.
