Today I faced a horrible drive home. Normally I get off of class at 7, so rush hour isn't a big worry. Today we were let out at 6, and traffic was insane. I tried taking some backroads and such to avoid things, and every choice I made out me in a worse state than before. 50 minutes for a drive that normally takes 15, and 10 late at night. An hour early off from class, and I got home 25 minutes earlier than normal.
I've always been lucky with commutes, rarely being stuck in a situation where I had no choice but to face bumer to bumer traffic every day. Now that my car stereo has vanished, I have little entertainment but to smoke or talk to myself. Now the driver's side window is completely screwed up, and, for all intents and purposes (ever heard anyone say "intensive purposes?), stuck in the closed position. I won't smoke if I can't have the window open, because then the smoke adversely affects the car's permanent smell to a much higher degree. I was left with talking to myself. I won't go in to details, but I'd be very embarassed if someone had recorded me.

sorry. that definitly sucks. it took me over an hour to get home coming from west paces ferry yesterday (usually less than a 15 minute drive). They had one lane open on buford highway. i think there might have been an event going on for the latin americans' association.
We'll have a car wash and get you a new radio.
PS: ever think of headphones? Maybe not the safest, but probably okay in crappy traffic.
I've thought of headphones, even tried them out, but without something to attach them to, all they do is play the ocean and make it hard to hear traffic.
