I learned a lot living on the highway. If you leave on the early side, you’ll be stuck in “fall asleep at the wheel” traffic. If you leave at a reasonable hour, you’ll be stuck in “rush hour” traffic. And if you leave on the late side, you’ll be stuck in “people who will lose their jobs that day” traffic (my least favorite option). It’s a Three Little Bears scenario where everyone loses. For those who somehow beat the traffic, they get the anticlimactic prize of work.
