Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Pleased to make your acquaintance JT.
WRT old pickup trucks and fuel efficiency, y'all would be surprised. Not all of those trucks weighed 4000lbs had giant V8s in them. Mine had a little slant 6 and if one just cruised at the (then) legal speed limit of 55 or less even, one could get surprisingly good milage. Still wish I could have snagged my uncle's 1976. It was a good little truck and I liked it a helluva lot better than any of the subsequent models he purchased.

Thursday, the worst commuting day in LA.
I left home at 7:45 and clocked in to work at 8:43, under 1 hour for a 50 mile commute at rush hour.
As we get back on topic, yes, traffic is significantly lighter out there. I can't wait to see what it's like once school gets out. That's the other time of year when I usually see a dramatic shift.
I also got some very good news today in that the company has narrowed it's relocation choices to the final three, and they are all closer to my home. One of them will cut my commute in half. _________________ Cougar

Nice. When I began working I was commuting to downtown LA from Palos Verdes which took about 50 mins without accidents.
Then in July 2006 we moved our offices to Torrance which takes me about 15 mins max.
