Making The Time Go By

I just arrived in South Carolina for which I am very grateful. It was a long trip down this time...partly because we left later than we wanted to on Friday afternoon. That meant that we ended up traveling through Washignton D.C. at rush hour.

What a mess. It truly was hours just hanging out in bumper to bumper traffic.
We had it a little easier because with my husband with me that made two of us so we could travel in the HOV lane. Not a whole lot faster but a little. We also had each other to talk to and a book on c.d. going on as well.

I couldn't help wondering what people do with all that car time. Do they listen to books or talk radio. Do they talk on the phone catching up on calls or just enjoy the silence. I am spoiled in that my longest commute to work is 5 miles and takes about 7 minutes. I was fascinated observing the hours of each persons life being taken up just getting back and forth to work.

I would have to make it meaningful in some way and I just wonder how everyone else is making out?
