Doug, you need to get out to LA more often. When I was there in April I was shocked at how empty the freeways were. It was no trouble at all to cruise along at 70 or 80 MPH much of the time, which was what most of the traffic was doing. There were a few slow patches, but nothing compared to my previous visit to LA a few years earlier.

Can't be. You must have landed into some sort of parallel universe. It's usually eight lanes wide of bumper to bumper, 24/7. I don't think those people sleep at all?

...and don't miss the Slawson Cutoff or they'll cut off your slawson...

Actually it reminds me allot of Long Island. You can't be a timid driver and you have to be willing to take the ticket should you get singled out. If you obey the speed limit you are going to get hurt or killed.
