Due to an accident on I-580 in Livermore, it took me 2 hours to drive 12 miles through Livermore today. All together it took 2 hours and 45 minutes to get to Aunt Emily's house--a drive that normally only takes an hour. I usually really *hate* traffic, but I'd heard on the radio that this one involved a fatality, so I decided to just 'go with the flow'. For some reason, just before I left the house I grabbed the book I'm currently reading, and I actually read 3 chapters (among other things!) as I drove along in this 'stop-and-go' for those 2 hours!
