And here in S. California distance is normally measured in hours.  When my mom came out to visit she asked how far it was to the next town. I told her 25 to 30 mins. Then she asked how far to LA. The answer was 2 and a half hours.  She asked me why everyone in California gave hours instead of miles. I let her know that the distance in miles really didn't tell you how long it would actually take to get there. When under certain conditions like time of day, weather and such. Could make a three mile drive take 2 hours to get there.  I remember being parked on the freeway for over an hour more than once. Just waiting for traffic to move. Heaven forbid there was an accident on the road. You might as well turn around and go home.
