What Horrible Traffic?

My coworkers have been complaining nonstop about how bad traffic has been over the past few weeks, thanks largely to LAUSD.  Boys and girls of LA county in K - 12 are back in classrooms, unless you happen to be in one of those rougher neighborhoods, then it's more likely to be K - 8.  Regardless, parents across the urban wasteland are busy shuttling their kids between the hours of 7 and 9 a.m.  I noticed that school buses are a rare occurrence in LA, probably because there is no tax money to support it.  This means parents are shoving their kids off their moving vehicles in front of schools and race to the office.  Somehow, every parent loses their collective minds and their ability to drive, creating mass chaos across Southern California.

How does this affect me?  Not a smidge, and it tickles me to say that.  My commute still takes only 30 minutes, and burning a little over 220 calories.  Aside from the cars stopped in traffic on Venice Blvd, I'm cruising at a lovely 15 mph to work.  Which, ironically, is what most cars in LA average during commuting hours. 

Just to make my commute to work a little more entertaining, I'm thinking about buying the iHome Cycler iPod speakers.  I'm sure people stuck in traffic will wonder where that trance/house music is coming from.
