Gawd, I forgot about the Richmond tolls. Ugh. Could they tie up traffic. Nearly as bad as the Garden State tolls that were placed about every quarter mile. At least today’s tolls are almost all electronic and don’t impede the flow of traffic.
I just tend to stay off the roads during rush hour. I have no business as a retiree being on the roads, congesting them for folks who are still commuting to jobs without alternatives. Of course today a big part of the workforce “telecommutes,” which is great, especially in an area like DC. I also don’t do my shopping on weekends when those same folks have limited time to get their marketing done.
I wish more retirees were as considerate of working people’s time (or lack thereof) as you are.
