It would be interesting to know what percentage of the cars on the road during rush rush our in Southern California, are being driven by illegal immigrants.

Do you remember that wonderful Day Without Mexicans? When they thought we would miss them so much to do all that work, and instead the schools could focus and the freeways were zooming?! That backfired and we haven’t had a day like that since.

Good point. That’ll teach em.

You bring up another interesting thing I learned.

At one point for a few years, I was driving 30 miles on the freeway each way to work. I admit, out here that’s actually pretty tame. Some folks drive a lot more each way.

I had never realized how much impact schools have on freeway traffic. During school breaks, the traffic is substantially lighter on the freeways.

A friend at work mentioned it. I took notice and sure enough, the days schools were on special holiday, the traffic was much lighter.
