Observations on my commute to work from the East Bay, BayCHI meeting at PARC, picking up a friend and dropping him off at Belmont and dinner in downtown Mountain View:
cars on busy freeways (like the 101 and 880) take up the entire road. no gaps allowed.
cars on not-so-busy freeways aka the rich man\’s road (the 24, the 280, the 680) travel in packs. I like driving at 75 to get from pack to pack.
no matter what, I somehow always happen to arrive first
there is all-day parking in the mission. just look for it west of valencia.
it takes 30 minutes to get from the mission downtown via bart, assuming a train arrives the moment you get into the station. how does the muni work again?
say \”Virgin Records\” and you can meet somewhere there rather than saying \”5th and Powell\”
I forgot this since I don\’t drive often, but when parking uphill, turn your wheels away from the curb. When parking downhill, turn your wheels into the curb. And parking brake.
Always free parking in downtown Mountain View and Palo Alto
There are still some stupid drivers on the road.
Come to Seattle. Many stupid drivers. Oh my gosh there\’s so many. It makes me sad. I get an anxiety attack whenever I drive. I\’m not kidding.
