I never noticed the traffic, I leave before 6am for work and get home at 6pm or so.


I have noticed its getting rather dark in the mornings though.

I sat in right lane traffic like an idiot for about 5 mins before I realized the schools were open again when I was otw to get some gas.. (left lane traffic was moving along at a normal pace).

I'm lucky. I dodge the school "traffic" this semester. There isn't much of it, but I have to pass 3 schools otw to/from class so it adds up.

I don't notice any difference in CA. Traffic is crap no matter what time or what day of the year it is.

I know, man...
Fuckin' 30 mile one way commute + back-to-school traffic is not fun.
Even the tollway only provides a small respite... where it dumps back into the regular road has started backing up again.

All that school going back means to me is that rather than being able to jog the 30 miles home at night faster than I could drive it, I can walk home faster than I could drive.

The difference here is very noticable. I love the 2.5 months of no school busses, soccer moms, teachers/administrators on the roads. Since school started back up a few weeks ago, my commute to/from work has increased about 15-20 mins, easy. Sucks.

Some of the trees behind my house look like they are dying again. It's odd, they keep dying and coming back to life after Winter. I think they are magic trees.
