5:35

That's the magic number. If I leave work at 5:35 exactly...I can get off at my exit with a reasonable amount of traffic. 5:36...I'm stuck in wall to wall traffic. 5:34...basically parking on route 71 for 30 minutes going 3 mph.

Traffic is so outrageous, that I actually took a nap in traffic last week. And I felt totally safe. After about 2 miles of crawling along, because the light at Route36 only lets 7 cars off at a time, I'm ready to kill someone. A long string of obscenities are at the tip of my tongue and I'm looking for some trucker to unload on.
