when coivid was rampant

[Dirk Diggler]

I could drive anywhere in my town at any time with no frustration.

now? every day from 7am-11pm feels like rush hour. granted, I'm in a tourist town but frig, must every knob drive their f150 on joyrides daily?

people are driving like gas is $1/l. i don't get it and maybe I don't want to

I never thought any area near Buffalo NY could have a bunch of tourists, then I remembered Niagara Falls. Has anyone gone over in a barrel lately?

I try in my mind to give them the benefit of the doubt, that their F150 (or other such guzzler) is their only vehicle. So I *try* not to fault them (in my mind) for their choice of ride. Especially pickup trucks, which are extremely useful vehicles.

Actually not that long ago, I think some kid went over in the 90's and survived. Weird thing about the traffic is the fact only 2 streets in the tourist zone get busy. The side streets, where I live have more overall traffic than the tourist zone.

That's true. There's only so many dollars in a household, but then I would expect to see more than just a driver in these things, which I rarely, if ever do. However, go to the supermarket and you can see all the spouse's there with Civics, Camrys, etc.
