Wow, holiday work weeks and holiday commuting is a breeze. And then comes the first workday after the New Years holiday for the masses. It was impressive this morning in the rain. And this evenings late rush was what I guess can be expected now and only increase when colleges and government crank up again. Chaos, gridlock, accidents and lots of selfish people.

As I sit in my car, I imagine I’m catching that warm late summer breeze on one of these benches, catching clouds floating by. It seems so far and so long ago at times. I talk to a friends in Florida that tell me stories of warmth year round. Ah, what a dream. Then again I’d never trade where I have lived and grown up. And really these roads are a beautiful art of work. You should get out and drive them between 3 and 4am.
