Left work at 2:30 today to try and make it home to pick up 1500 feet of thermocouple wire. I should have known that everyone in LA would be trying to leave early also. The freeways were packed, so I went side streets around the mess. This is Lincoln Blvd from Marina Del Rey to El Segundo. Took me 3 hours to get home, and I barely made it before the supplier closed.
