dolariI really really really hate Austin traffic.
It usually takes 20 minutes to get here and 30 minutes to get "into" Austin. I left with plenty of time to get to the PO Box since there's a package waiting for me.
Traffic was much worse than expected and I hit wall to wall traffic MUCH sooner. No problem I thought to myself, I can take the next exit. Its only a mile away.
It took 25 minutes just to get to the exit., I had 5 minutes to get to the Post Office From about 6 miles away.
I didn't make it and ended up turning the trip to the PO Box into a "clean out the junk mail" trip.
AUSTIN I REALIZE YOU'RE A GREEN CITY BUT BUILD SOME DAMNED ROADS. Toll them if you have to but BUILD them. Don't throw them in the middle of nowhere where there not needed like 130 - PUT THEM DOWNTOWN!
Seattle is still INCREDIBLY green, and has loads of highways right through downtown! I drove through rush hour there without ANY problems. It should not take me 20 minutes (on a GOOD day to go 6 miles). Now I have to wait a week before I can come back. And next time I'm leaving at 2 instead of 3 becuase traffic is so damned bad.
Austin...I love you...but build some damned roads!
Maybe I wouldn't be so upset if I had AC in my pickup...
