When I lived in Irvine, driving on 101 to Hollywood to visit Amoeba music added an extra hour to my route just because of the traffic. Like my GPS would say I would get there at 2:30 when I first plugged in the route, but I'd finally get there at like 3:30.
But nothing was ever like my recent experience in SF traffic. Jesus Fucking Christ. I know many people who work in SF commute long ways because it's too expensive to live there, but how do they fucking SLEEP? Do they just take a zillion mini-power naps while stuck in traffic?
