Defeating Traffic

No, I don't have any secret routes or anything like that. I just realized that I can't control traffic. All I can do is submit to its clutches and enjoy my time in my car. My solution? Good music - my U2 compilation this morning - and a good cup of coffee - I recommend a triple grande nonfat caramel macchiatto from Starbucks, unless there is a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf where you are at. If that's the case, get a regular Caramel Latte. Anyway, just bump the radio as loud as your ears can handle, submit to the clutches of traffic, drink your coffee and sing as loud as possible and feel every word that comes out of your mouth. Traffic will seem less annoying and more of an hour-long vacation before having to go back to work.
