    Thanks for the welcome.
    Judy, where in Va are you?
    Look, sometimes bad things happen, and there is nothing you can do about it, so why worry?

    I'm in Springfield (near DC) but only for a few more weeks. We're moving to Alabama in July. (mixed feelings! :lol: )

    Ewwww Springfield . I grew up in Herndon... the traffic up there sucks!! Then again it's getting pretty rough down here too.
    Going to Alabama is going to be quite the change.

    Where in WV are you Smulkin? I went to school up at WVU for a couple of years and lived in Charlestown for a while.

    Oh I know....I'm feeling very claustrophobic here in the DC area! I've gotten used to the traffic, but I still hate it. When I went house-hunting in AL last month, I felt weird driving around and not having to compete for my right to be in a lane! My only mixed feelings come from having to move again so soon (we only moved here last summer!) and for leaving behind a really great church that we've become involved in. Other than that, I'm very much looking forward to living down south!

    I know what Judy means about northern virginia....it really should be a seperate country up there. Theres just too many people up there in competition for the same space. I'm originally from richmond, went to GMU in fairfax for a couple years, and decided I couldn't take it anymore. I transferred to VCU last semester, and even though I live in the city, its much easier to get around than in the SUBURBS of DC. There is a positive relationship between lower latitudes and the coolness of a place. The weather in nova sucks too to boot.

    I think is just the fact that those states are small. Here in Texas the only city that has really bad traffic issues is Houston. But in Texas everthing is spread out. The distance between El Paso to Beaumont is longer then the distance between Beaumont and Chicago.

    Well, I'm from Dallas and still visit there frequently. I think Dallas traffic is at least as bad as Houston's and getting worse. But I DO miss the wide spread of Texas!!! San Antonio was wonderful because you get all the convenience of a big city without so much of the crowding.
