OMG traffic!

The difference between MO and IL traffic is that MO traffic is reliable and consistent. I know how much extra time to give myself depending on the time of day I'm leaving and what time I need to be at work.

IL traffic is completely variant and unpredictable. For example, yesterday - I flew over the bridge with not even brake-slamming. Today, I sat in line inching across the river and traffic was backed up for 3 miles. Why can't we all do it the same way every day?
