Perhaps the solution is simply to not spend your weekends reading Kudoz questions. I prefer a good book. I'd surf but the roads are always jam-packed with people that insist on only taking days off on Saturdays and Sundays.

Yes, and surfing along the road sounds rather difficult anyway.

It's definitely less entertaining when the traffic is stopped:
