Life With a Commute

So now that I get to drive to work every day I've been loving listening to Jackie & Bender on the radio! Oh how I've missed them. Although I haven't missed them enough to want to deal with traffic. It has been so long since I actually drove to work everday that I forgot how stupid some drivers are! I don't think I will ever understand traffic either. Especially when it gets backed up on I-90. This for sure doesn't make any sense...the point it starts to back up is from people getting on the freeway from Issaquah-Renton Road (900). This is the point on the freeway that the drivers getting onto I-90 get their own lane so there is no reason to merge at 5 mph! Well, there is no reason to merge at 5 mph ever but really? They have their own lane they could use. And really, why is it so hard to use an on-ramp? It is used to get on the freeway which means you need to speed up to match the speed of the drivers on the freeway. That doesn't mean you get on the freeway at 40 mph and make someone else slam on their brakes so you can cut them off. Grrrr!! So I have included one photo of my drive home the other night. So of course it was raining so that made traffic that much worse! And really...we live in Seattle, why do people forget how to drive when it rains??? Can anyone answer that question for me?

Hear hear!!! Traffic SUCKS... especially when it rains. It's like everyone has to stare at each little raindrop instead of DRIVE!!!
