In the office...

It's been about a year since I've been back in the Bay. Weekends and the occasional 3 day holiday don't count since I neither have to commute nor am I ever in the office for any extended period of time. But coming back really puts some things in perspective

Commuting
Since I don't have a car, and I don't have my bike, I stood around waiting for the bus. I forgot how bad traffic is during rush hour. Long lines of cars going all the way down to the BART station. The ~20 miles from Fremont to Palo Alto really isn't that long. I'd probably bike it nowadays if I had my bike. But, alas, I could only stand there. I wonder how people do it, I'm pretty sure I'd go mad if I had to stick around in there nowadays.

Weather
It's funny that 85F around here is considered warm. After being in 110F Davis, things out here are pretty damn nice by comparison.
