49 - traffic
Most people love bumper-to-bumper traffic. I am one of those people. The luxury of traffic can’t be overstated.
You can sit back, put on some tunes and enjoy the ride. There’s no worrying about the other lane moving faster or someone getting ahead of you.
Traffic is like a meadow in the morning on a cool spring day. Just reading that sentence makes me relaxed.
No traffic is a nightmare. I have to make sure no one passes me because that is a challenge to my masculinity.
It is exhausting.
Plus, no traffic means you will arrive at places you don’t want to go to much faster - say your mother-in-laws house.
Join us on the light side. Embrace the calmness of a car cluttered road. You’ll be glad you did.
