Sitting Still

Here are some interesting questions for you:

• Have you ever put your car in park because you were sitting in the same place for so long? 

Okay, maybe that one wasn't crazy enough. 

• Have you ever have to bounce in the seat of your car because your butt was numb from sitting in the same position for so long? 
• Have you ever made friends with people next to you on the highway? 
• Have you ever kicked your feet up on the dashboard of your car while on on the highway, in attempt to get comfortable?

If you have answered no to any of these questions, then you're probably not from the DC area.  

One of my favorite things to hear oklahomans complain about is traffic.  There is absolutely no comparison between traffic in Northern Virginia and Oklahoma.  When you live in Virginia, simple plans like going to the movies our out to dinner require strategic planning just because of how horrific the highway traffic is.  You can almost guarantee that if you are on 1-95 around rush hour it will take you a minimum of an extra hour and half to get home.

We should be honest though.  Traffic is the spawn of satan.  No matter what part of the world you are driving in.

Lets compare pictures of Oklahoma and Northern Virginia highways, shall we!

On you're left we have a lovely picture of a clear Oklahoma highway.  It's hard for this little east coast girl to see that picture, and not get giddy and excited to drive! My Northern Virginia traffic on the other hand, makes me wish I never got my drivers license.

This is one thing that makes me thankful for the DC to OKC life.
