Now when a 20 minute ride on a weekend turns into a 2-3 hour ride during rush hour, now that is traffic. Sitting on a highway and not moving for 5-10 minutes, traffic. Trying to take a short cut and taking 10-15 light cycles to get through is traffic.

For anyone among us that has driven in Mass, NY, DC, LA and probably a dozen other places know traffic. The Villages does not have traffic, sorry.

Anyway, enjoy your time and don’t sweat the little things.
After living and commuting in Houston, I smile at the complaints about traffic. My office was 18 miles from my house, and if I would leave for work at 6:30 am. If there were no accidents, I could arrive between 7:30 and 8:00. And that was traveling the Katy freeway, the largest interstate in the world, at 26 lanes.
