I am sorry you were sent into crying this morning, BirdDancer. That sounds like not a very nice start to the day. I hope things got a bit better for you after that. The holidays!!

I went to college in NYC and I remember driving in the tri-state area and even down to Philly and DC. It was generally not an enjoyable experience. There is just such population density there. Too many people vying for too few lanes. Coming from the west coast, it was just shocking to me. Not sure where you are located BD, but, it sounds like you were dealing with some stressed holiday motorists today. Not fun. Glad you made it home safely. Hopefully you can have a nice, peaceful evening with your hubby and a good sleep and not have to drive anywhere tomorrow morning...
