I meant to gve this a proper reply. Didn't have one - so I'll just be myself. We don't do the freeway thing. Fortunately Casa Lather is close enough to work that I can use "secondary" roads as my primary commute. Eight miles. Twenty minutes when there's like a mass commuter absence thing, more typically 25 minutes because there is one evil light that invariably lets through everybody but me and the poorly-tuned Diesel in front of me. (I can find the Recirc button in pitch dark now.) Our freeways are not free anymore. Fortunately (unlike Fred County) they're not ranges either. Folks here pretty much leave the Glock on the dashboard and communicate "digitally". And I don't mean CDMA either. We'd be a lot more like Quinnelly's Canyon if there wasn't this pesky submergence dealie right in the middle of the Bay Area denying the developers a thousand square miles of burbable land. If a map of LA looks like the vascular diagram of a big strapping tumor, the SF Area looks like the same tumor after its heart has started to rot. The road network has this unplanned " vascularization of a carcinoma" look to it. You know what I'd do aboout those crashes? 1) Have a Chinook or two on standby with those big Bundt-cake magnets. 2) Make sure nobody builds aluminum cars. Un-American. Then the magnet would have to be replaced with a giant version of that theree prong thingie in the teddy bear machine at the airport. I simply don't Get why people slow down to look at crashes. In the other lanes. I mean, if the DON'T slow down and make the lives of everyone two miles back of them a little more poopy - what have they missed. What did they Learn staring at flares and orange vests and windshields turned into a cometary sparkle of Cubic Jerkonia?
