Yes, the title is another Buffett reference. Something I’ve noticed about Vegas is that everybody’s on the run here. I used to think that San Diego or LA traffic was bad and people there didn’t know how to drive, but Las Vegas beats ‘em both hands down!!!

I think the traffic on the freeways has something to do with the fact that there aren’t very many of them. Take a look at Vegas on a roadmap and you’ll see what I mean. To make matters worse, something like 250 people move here every day and the road construction (or should that be road constriction?) crews can’t keep up.

People here know that the freeways are usually jammed up, so they usually stick to the surface streets. The problem here is that nobody seems to have a clue as to how to properly drive with others on the roadways. They pull out right in front of you at intersections, drive 45 in a 65, and generally act clueless.

As locals, we try to avoid driving on the Strip if it’s at all possible. Don’t even get me started on that circus!!!

Feel free to email me if you want more info on this and have fun!
