What is it with CA drivers? Are you all so concerned about getting home that you think letting one person in front of you will cause you to be late? I don't get it.

I drove into SJ on Wednesday night and stayed at the Hilton next to the Convention Center. I took a short drive over to the mall (not sure of the name, only that it is huge) to pick up a few things and drove back to the hotel. I also drove across the street to Santana Row where I realized I would be way over my budget if I even parked. I think it was the four Lamborghini's parked there that cemented that thought.

Anyway, the next day I spent at a conference and then drove over to the Google HQ in Mtn. View. 45 minutes to go 13 miles? You have got to be kidding me.

I left their campus and headed back to Reno at 8pm and it took me over 90 minutes to get to the Bay Bridge up 101. 8pm and traffic is still that heavy? What are you people thinking?

I feel better now.

Gee, wonder why I left, the politics maybe. . .

Changed a lot in 57 + years, I'll tell you that.

Just think, people have to drive in that every friggin' day just to get to work and back. Some people can't afford to live in the Bay Area but work there and drive over 200 miles a day. Can you say insanity? What was the price of gas, Roy????
