Honestly I could really do without that drive. I mostly like being on the mountain, but I dread driving up there. The drive is always bad until I get past Temecula. Then it&#8217;s OK until I hit Corona or Riverside, (depending which way I go). Then it&#8217;s gridlock again and what should be a 90 minute drive turns into a 2.5 hour odyssey.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m wiped out by the time I get to the mountain and all I want to do is veg out in front of the boob tube.<\/p>\n<p>I actually used to like driving. But California has really gone to hell in that regard. People I&#8217;ve talked to up and down the coast have all commented that it&#8217;s <strong>much<\/strong> worse than it used to be, but no one seems to be able to put a finger on what has happened.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just a part of living in California these days. Like the drought&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it&#8217;s something that will change&#8230; but I suspect that any change will be for the worse. I thought it was a localized thing, but Folks in Florida are saying that traffic is much worse there too.<\/p>\n<p>Wonder what Alaska is like?
