OT - Gleno... I just read this article that as gas keeps spiking more and more people are using public transit which I suppose is a good thing? May be as the Mass transit's coffers increase they can build even better infrastructure. When I first moved to the Seattle area last year, I stayed with my sister for 3 weeks until I found a place. I was 50 miles outside of the city. Driving to downtown seattle and back home sucked. It took 2 1/2 hours in traffic each way. Anyhow, I took the bus and they had an express that went on HOV2/3 lanes and it took 1/2 the time and I was able to slept or read books. It only cost $3 one way while my parking ($10/day) and gas cost way more when I drove. (EDIT - I personally hate driving, but I'm not rich enough to get a chaufer so for me I don't mind the bus or my wife driving. LOL)
