driving home from rockville to arlington usually sucks. they say the stretch of highway that I drive is the 7th worst gridlock in the country and that 19 million hours are wasted each year in this specific stretch. I like to think that all 19 million hours are MINE!
despite this, on a hot and humid day like today, when traffic breaks free enough for me to exit onto one of the smaller highways, the GW Parkway to be exact, and I can actually drive the speed limit, it’s really lovely to put the windows down, turn off the AC and just let the coolness of the trees enter through the car.
