Surface street traffic is getting even more ridiculous (if that's possible). It took me 30 minutes to get from the signal at San Vicente / Darlington to the signal at San Vicente and Wilshire. It's not that far!!!!  It should take 3 minutes.

All I could think about was the fact my car was probably going to die and I should look around and find good, reasonably priced hotels west of the 405 that I can stay at when traffic sucks this bad.

I owe an apology to all my fellow commuters that I was a bitch to. Sorry.

BTW- What was up with all the law enforcement vehicles screaming along Wilshire west-bound?  I was stuck in even more traffic along that corridor, just west of the 76, but at the top of the hill, and at least 7 police SUV's, motorcycles and sedans went tearing the other way with lights and sirens on. Nothing was mentioned on news radio the rest of the way home. Weird.
