I often find myself pondering the overall value of sitting in traffic. Let’s take today for example: My commute is 31 miles from Long Beach to Irvine. My travel-time this morning was 1 hour and 40 minutes. I estimate my travel-time home will be 1 hour and 15 minutes. Hmmmm, that’s three hours out of my day. Where will I make up that time? Some will be shaved off my work schedule, some will come off my housework this evening, my son will lose some of our quality-time and just to ice the cake, I’ll be a bitch all morning until my afternoon run\therapy session. At what point do we say, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!” The 405 will take 3 hours of my life today and that pisses me off!
