Readers and the role traffic plays in their lives

I too am stuck in traffic almost four hours a day -- one and a half hours in the morning and two hours at night.

My 35-mile drive from Santa Clarita to Santa Monica is a nightmare and I catch myself not going anywhere when I get home. (to get back into a car us a dreadful thought)

I have turned into a "hermit" - which I don't like. I do my food shopping and chores in the early morning hours on Saturday just so I don't get stuck in traffic. It's very stressful.
