Traffic time thoughts are so scattered. The traffic is buzzing by, the accelerator is getting closer and closer to the floor, and you’re watching the minutes tick by on the clock. You know you have to be on the freeway by 8:17 or you’ll be late. It’s 8:19. Maybe if you walk fast you’ll make it. Maybe not.

I always feel bad when I’m driving. Especially lately because my commute takes me on the freeway and downtown St. Paul. I always feel like I’m making people angry. I’m not actually doing anything wrong, it’s just the tension level. There’s such a tension to commuting. You don’t see too many people taking a laid back commute. Sitting back, laughing, smiling. Those people are usually riding the train or the bus. Everybody’s sitting alone in their vehicle, flipping radio stations and switching lanes. It’s a pretty odd way to work things. But that’s the American way, so it has to be the right way.
