From CBS 13 Sacramento:
Woman's Fear Of New Bay Bridge Means 7-Hour Trip From Sacramento To San FranciscoQuoteThe beauty of the new Bay Bridge is making for an ugly commute, but there are some drivers who will never have to sit through the traffic.

Is anyone else getting really tired of hearing about this lately?
For a while it was article after article about how terrifying the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (MD) is, and now apparently it's the new SF Bay Bridge?
I guess she has to avoid the Yolo Causeway. Because she doesn't subscribe to YOLO. Or something.
Tunnels have always sort of set me on edge (don't know if there's a name for that), but not to the point where I have to go out of my way to avoid them.
Meh, a filler article when there isn't more riveting news to report. Seriously, the bay bridge fear story is used every summer as a back pocket story on a slow news day.
