No kidding. You aren't making friends sitting in a car in traffic. If anything you're probably more likely to road rage and be more stressed and angry.

Walking also just makes me feel better when I get a chance.

Walking beside the 6 lane road yesterday. Traffic was backed up as always. Seeing all cars, mostly with just the driver. I wondered if in the horse & cart days if people talked to each other as the traveled along on their horse. Or crossed paths. I bet they did.

Instead today, everyone isolated in their box.
