Remind Me Again Why Anyone Would Want To Live In L.A.?!

   Today was a looong one. I worked a half day and then drove like mad to DIA, hopped on a plane to LAX, and then rushed to get my rental car and point it north on the 405 freeway to Santa Barbara.

   2:00 PM on a Friday afternoon and already the freeway is just creeeeeping..Though it did not take the full three hours it took our family to make the same drive this summer on our vacation, it still took me a good two and a half to get where I was going, most of which was spent running the following phrase through my head "Why the hell would anyone live in L.A.? What could possibly be sooo great about this place that after dealing with this sort of life-wasting commuting twice a day, every day, would make you still want to live here?"

   I just don't get it. Have I mentioned lately that I love Colorado?
