Penkava: A quick explanation of slow traffic

OK, I admit it. I don’t do well in traffic jams. I mean, I don’t get wild crazy or anything, but I do become a bit grouchy when I’m trapped in my car as I am sitting at a standstill on a Chicago expressway with a million other drivers as we wait for some Sherlock 3 miles ahead to figure out which pedal is the gas. Yep, that kind of grouchy.

You might appreciate the dialogue between my wife and I during one of these jam sessions.

“I don’t understand why we are stopped!”
