Did I mention lately how much I loathe traffic? I drive about 20 miles each way to and from work each day. My route takes me over an expressway, I-205, I-84 and various surface streets. There are rarely any traffic problems when I go to work, and it takes about 40 minutes to get there. If there are problems, it's usually something major.
Coming home is a different story. At least once a week I get stuck in pretty major traffic. It usually takes about an hour to come home. Today it took three. Yes, THREE HOURS. I left work at 4:00. When I got on I-84 traffic was backed up to 181st, which is about 5 miles from the I-205 merge. So I got off the freeway right there and went Airport Way. It took me over an hour to get to Costco on Airport way, which is only about 50 blocks. I was sick of sitting in traffic at that point so I went in to Costco and shopped. I was there about 45 minutes (it's now 5:30) and it took me until 6:45 to get to the onramp. It's only a couple of miles and it took over an hour to get there. GRRRRR!
I still don't know why it was so bad, but this might have something to do with it.
Anyway, that's my traffic rant for the day.
