  Overall: the FASTEST commute ever. Glad everyone decided to stay home.

Depart: 8:22a

2: 12 min
3: 8 min (a cop was among us, keeping us close to the speed limit)
4: 9 min
Arrive: 8:54a

Wouldn't it be nice if I was really only a half hour from the office?

Happy Thanksgiving. See you Monday.

Wednesday, November 19, 2003
  Overall: With this morning's article in the SJ Mercury News (front page, Valley section) about speedtraps on I-280 (leg 3 of my daily commute), I fully expected the commute time to balloon today. Didn't happen.

Depart: 8:15a
1: 10min
2: 20 min
3: 10 min
4: 11 min
Arrive: 9:06a

I plan to ride the motorcycle in on Friday (pending weather conditions), so I fully anticipate chopping my times for legs 1 & 2 in half, if not more. We'll see.
