One doesn't expect to encounter traffic while living as a field biologist studying owls. However, the owls I work for require city driving. Between getting honked at twice, nearly colliding with a vehicle that suddenly switched lanes, and sitting in motionless traffic for an hour before turning around to go the long way home, I'm exhausted. And that doesn't take into account the 80 degree heat and the uncooperative nature of my owls today.
