I know, but you can't argue with a cement head.

Maybe if you rolled your lazy retired *** outta bed before 10 am and jumped in it around 7:30-8am you might change your mind. I know, I know, that would be quite a stretch for you these days.

Let me know when it takes you close to 4 hours to travel 56 miles on the freeway, then we can talk about traffic.

I am up between 6 and 6:30 every day lil miss smartie pants........I just have no need to go sit in traffic so neener neener.



I prefer to enjoy my day and get things done instead of whine about what y'all refer to as traffic.

Actually, Darrin -- and I am not trying to take sides -- but that is an average speed of 14mph (which, I shouldn't have to tell you that) and that is about the speed one does on 405 during "rush hour" here in "Heaven".

In the spirit of not arguing, I will just say that the first 40-45 miles took the longest & I never got my car out of 1st gear........it was basically stop, go 20 feet, stop again, repeat. And I doubt we saw 14 MPH more then once or twice that whole time, it was a freaking parking lot! The last 10 miles or so breezed by (40-50 MPH)

And the major difference is that I wasnt doing that during rush hour, that was at 1 PM on a weekday.......if you want to define it, rush hour is about 20 or so hours of the day down there.
