              Depends on how slow the driver is in front of him.

                    They do! I like driving in CA on the freeways. Hell, I like driving San Fran and LA, even. Here in NM people go fast, slow, whatever so long as it's shitty. No blinkers, slowly wading between lanes, forcing multiple lanes to stop while you attempt to cross over to the other side of a 6 lane thoroughfare. Plus, we are a pretty drunk people as well.

                      That reminds me there was a seafood place in Moss Landing that I really liked. No idea if that is what you were going to type.

                      Now I have to go look up the name of the place.

                        My younger daughter and i went on a whale watching boat out of moss landing a year ago. When we stopped in Monterey the other day it was so clear i could see the giant smokestacks at moss landing. It rained in LA this morning and with less traffoc than usual it was amazingly clear. It was hard to believe i was in los angeles

                          Another interestimg thing. On I5 today 80 to 90 percent of traffic north of LA was trucks. Maybe that is normal, but it was impressive. Coming out of the mountains we saw a line of trucks literally 20 miles long. Bless those guys they are keeping us all supplied

                            Might be hypocritical to say, but as I drive around delivering food, I'm not very impressed with placer county's shelter in place efforts. Still a ton of cars on the road.

                              It should reduce traffic somewhat, I hope, but I wonder how much?

                              Car trips my family has made this week:
                              Monday - trip to grocery
                              Thursday - trip to vet (vet meets you in parking lot and takes your animal inside)
                              Thursday - trip to local hiking trails
                              Friday - trip to pharmacy
                              Friday - trip to grocery

                              I might be forgetting one or two that happened earlier in the week. There aren't any trips to school in there, but otherwise, I'm not sure if we have actually cut down on the number of trips. But we have definitely cut down on our interaction with other people in public spaces.
