  • On the L.A. freeway system, during rush hour, the drivers would be more than happy with 10 mph! :))

    Yeah. As we said in the Navy about the chow-lines. 'Hurry up and wait'.

    I guess you don't squish jalapenos with your feet in a vat to make hot sauce.

    Rushing out of work to their  (usually traffic Jam) mode of transportation, walking excluded. This post was edited by Beans/SilentGeneration at April 30, 2018 5:26 PM MDT

    I hear you. The Pacific Highway should be renamed the Pacific parking lot. Takes two hours to get from Lane Cove to the bottom of the F3 - about 10 kilometres.
