Frell

Over the weekend, I picked up this scratchy throat which I attributed to going from the smoke from the SantaCruz fire to an only nominally smoke-free hotel room. However, I had a decent fever yesterday, so I'm thinking that it is not just a smoke reaction.

I was really looking forward to going up to B&Y's tonight.

At least I have been able to work from home. Telecommuting is the best computer innovation ever. morivenhas liked getting to drive to work, too. 

I think BART is really missing the ball right now. They had a really bad (and mostly unpublicized) fire in their contol tower on the Fremont line, which means that they've doubled the commute time right when people are feeling the pinch of gas prices. They are really losing a lot of customers right when folks are most likely to want to give them a try. That is, as they say, bad for business.

Also bad for business is the train operators' lack of customer service skills. To wit, if they are at a transfer station - Bayfair, for instance, it behooves them to stay at the platform so that customers from the other train can make the transfer to their train. Pulling away whilst people are crossing between trains is a crappy thing to do.

And, after all that, it is still cheaper for moriven to drive to work in the truck than it is to take BART.

yea, N-A has an old beat-up pickup, and it's cheaper for him to drive to SF (including $4 bridge toll) than take BART. and we ended up picking up 2 more people for our carpool because it's just getting so expensive.

sorry you're not feeling well! I hope it's over quickly!

Totally understand!

Its is the plague... I am telling you... that is how mine started. Fortunately I have expelled the plague rat to a co-worker... she now has to get it to jump her ship to another.
