Why yes, it does suck

Now you have driven through what I deal with on any given day.
Tidewater/Hampton Roads Va. has over a million people trying to get to the same place as me every day.
I work hard for my FE and some days it just doesn't help.
We also have over 20 Bridges (most are drawbridges) and tunnels here so that doesn't help either.
It is also why I am glad to work nights.
I go in when there is only 500,000 people on the road and come home when it is less than 100,000 with me.
As much as I dislike traffic her I would not want to deal with L.A.
But I have been in D.C. and N.Y. and believe the traffic is worse here, probably because our road system isn't up to par with theirs.
Schultz,
(not stuck in traffic today)
