[Vex]

I live downtown and am looking to move to the deep south for the same reason as the OP. I used to live in Deer Run, so I've felt the sting of 2hour snow day commutes. One thing I've got going for me is now my work hours are flexible, and I can work from home if need be.... Though I think I'll die a little inside when I cant wake up at 7:40 and be at work before 8. My least favorite part of the Deerfoot journey has got to be the Calf Robe bridge (which until reading this thread I've been calling the Calf Rope bridge... wtf?). In the morning, all the drivers seem surprised when they're blasted by the sunrise after going around the first bend in the bridge and hit the brakes. It's just the sun, its not going to hurt you... and it's going to be there again the next morning so get some fking sunglasses! Going home, the traffic is always bad leading up to the bridge, then you have a few moments of freedom until you hit the Glenmore trail overpass. I attribute this to the high percentage of Calgarians who grew up in Saskatchewan and have never encountered such a large bend in the road. Also people that drive 80 on Deerfoot in clear conditions are more dangerous than anyone going 120 in my books. Ugh, just thinking about it stresses me out.
