I know this cannot be good for me.

I am so glad your in the place you are in. I can just see you gardening, and painting wow. I picked up my brushes the other night the first time in a long time. Can't wait to see some of your work. The photo of the traffic is enough to send me back to the farm, although I have to admit even in our city the traffic has gotten worse over the last few years. I wish you every success and so nice to meet you. lol. hugs.Cindy https://www.blogger.com/profile/03552572705763406197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296769989261398998.post-4482309357210232202011-11-20T10:20:10.722-08:002011-11-20T10:20:10.722-08:00Oy.

Whether the holiday gathering was at my house or another relative's house, if any family members were over an hour late, I insisted we all proceed with the big dinner and enjoy ourselves instead of snacking ourselves into oblivion while waiting for rude late comers. <br /><br />Debby, sounds like you your husband compromised well with your move to where you live now. Having a shorter commute to work would indeed be a big help for your husband. <br /><br />Jeni, of course a shorter drive and less traffic sounds much more palatable than the hour drive to get ten minutes away. <br /><br />Maggie, It is funny that I do not wear a watch and am not interested in time, but it is important to be somewhere a little early with my book ready to read while I wait. <br /><br />bill, it is pretty scary how the pent up anger changes some drivers into ferocious maniacs behind the wheel. <br /><br />stickup artist, I lived in five different states as an adult and when I returned to California, the traffic was the worst welcome back of all.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466038341689494316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296769989261398998.post-20772461089609565302011-11-19T16:16:08.405-08:002011-11-19T16:16:08.405-08:00Being from the east coast, I was expecting Califor...Being from the east coast, I was expecting California to be laid back. I soon realized that it is just as stressful here as it is in New York City. At least back there, you could usually walk to work or hop a subway. I have been in traffic jams that were so bad, I actually cried. I'm glad you are in a more relaxed environment.Stickup Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028394186285973772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296769989261398998.post-26639255887285700602011-11-19T15:51:57.046-08:002011-11-19T15:51:57.046-08:00I do believe the congested traffic force us to be ...I do believe the congested traffic force us to be bad drivers.

One thing that has not changed a whit since I moved back to the rural hills of PA is the attitude that exists over around the university about those of us who choose to live out in the boondocks but would often seek work in or around the university with respect to the distance and time element involved with that commute. People over there would frequently ask why I would want to drive so far to work. My response was that it would take me 45 minutes to drive the 30 plus miles here whereas in D.C. traffic, it would take me well over an hour to drive a mere 10 miles from my apartment to the office in the city! So, you tell me which is the better alternative then?Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1296769989261398998.post-90083106516726266052011-11-19T10:01:10.791-08:002011-11-19T10:01:10.791-08:00It sounds heavenly.
