So travelling home tonight in rainy Seattle, oh yes, it does rain here (so far we are into a 10 day stretch of rain at some point within a 24hr period - oops digressing here).
I remembered when I used to travel home from London and having to use the M25 - 4 lanes one direction bumper to bumper and that was when everyone is doing 80mph+ :) wow that was fun.
Over here, well it can still be fun as the locals get a little crazy when the weather comes in, take I405 for example which is 3 lanes one direction, when the rain hits everyone sloooowwwwssss riggghhhhhttttt down!! It's as if they have bever seen rain before....
....my usual 25mile drive home becomes a 1hour trip in a sea of red brake lights, with the oncoming wave of white headlights from the passing traffic, talk about hypnotic :) but I can at least look online to see how congested it will be (check out http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/seattle ~ remember the 8hr time difference ~ I'm in PST.)
So while driving along, a thought crossed my mind, if teleportation becomes a reality will we still have congestion - I mean there is only so much air up there or will the TTC (pun on ATC, I'm sure you can work it out) have you circling around the top of your house waiting for a clear path.

Yeah I do remember going from the Brentford offices (Kode) to Swindon.
Brum Brum still relates his first visit to client with me in London, all went fine, client signed order, everyone happy so back to the office and down to the pub. After a nice lunch, Peter got in his car, I got in mine (the black SRi?) I said, stick with me, the traffic is heavy, stay on my tail, 5 minutes later, he no there! Lost!!
