Take the highway which is a good five minutes' faster - as long as there's no traffic? Or take the back way which takes longer but is more predictable? Inevitably I would choose the highway on the day it was all backed up.

The traffic was so hideous (long backups on I-75 due to construction, bumper to bumper on the beltway) that I said, if it's like this on weekends, I don't want to see it on a workday. We found a place to rent that guaranteed I'd never have to get on to the interstate. Not an option for everyone, obviously, but we got lucky. <br /><br />As for MARTA, long-time Atlanta residents told me there's one major reason it doesn't extend out very far: everyone outside Atlanta hates Atlanta and doesn't want to do anything that might benefit the city. Having watched Georgia politicians in action for a few years, I find that theory believable.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359007443116549436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-13873682717788283882012-04-12T20:40:38.410-04:002012-04-12T20:40:38.410-04:00I used to have a commute like that.

I'm in the middle of doing something right now and I hate to say it, but my gut told me at the instant of decision making that it probably is not the right thing for me to do. But I'm stubborn and doing it anyway. I won't know for a while whether it's going to be the right thing or an utter disaster. <br /><br />On the plus side, if it is an utter disaster, I might get some good writing-related jobs out of it. I hope.

Yet there is always some jackass who still thinks it is a freeway. You know the type... driving an inch behind your bumper and is all bent out of shape, because clearly if this anxiety ridden dolt would look ahead, he'd see the sea of red break lights ahead. <br />Go ahead jerkwad, jump in the right hand lane because that packed on ramp ahead is loading into your lane. <br /><br />Folks like them are the reason for chain reaction multi car accidents. I swear, they need an electronic sign that says "NOT CURRENTLY A FREEWAY".<br /><br />The husband's vehicle was totaled in a 3 car wreck on this very road.
