      The ones about California are so true indeed! But I would clarify that when you live in Southern California and you tell someone how long it takes to get somewhere, it's always gonna be 45 minutes. You can go anywhere in Southern California and it will take you 45 minutes guaranteed. If it's on the other side of your county or in the next county, that'll be 45 min on the freeway. If it's across town, there's just enough traffic on side streets to put you there in 45 min. It's unavoidable. Sometimes a walk to the store that would take 10 min will take you 45 min in the car. But you MUST take the car, because no one walks in California. It's just not done. *L*
