There wasn't even a backup at the Caldecott.
It's weird to be home early. Crossing my fingers and toes it stays that way.

From what I heard, there was a motorcycle accident and had to stop traffic for a helicopter to land on the freeway. Needless to say I wasn't happy at all just sitting there.

I used to have a 16 mile, 1.5hr commute (on a good day) from Alameda to China Basin SF.
That was pre 89' earth quake on the 880 cypress across bay bridge. And ppl up North would say back then LA traffic was lousy...
I just heard that they are going to be able to fix this freeway within the next 7-10 days. The damage wasn't as bad as they thought and they can repair it as supposed to reconstructing the whole thing which would've taken months. YEAH!!!!!

My drive from Walnut Creek to Oakland has been gorgeous.
I feel sorry for everyone that has an increased drive, but wow, I'm getting spoiled here.
(..and yes, I'm knocking on wood as I type this)!

What times are you two commuting on 24... I left Monday at 630am from my house up 680 to 24 to 880 to get to Oak Airport and it took me 1.5 hrs. I thought it would save me time doing 24 instead of 80-880 but I'm not sure now. And I drive like I'm in LA so being asleep isn't the factor!?

I'm normally in the late commute around 8:15-8:45am and in the heart of it at 5pm. The only day I wouldn't normally hit traffic is Friday.
It's a bit scary business-wise though. I've suddenly had a huge slowdown this week. The blood labs that are standing room only are empty. We even have street parking. It's weird to look down the street and see empty spots. People are usually fighting over them and double and triple parking up here.
People must be using more mass transit and only going to work and back.
