For the love of public transportation...

...would you look at that traffic!

This was yesterday evening. This is the reason i love Portland's great public transportation system. I would annoyed to road rage if i had to drive that daily.

It's also the primary reason I have for buying a hous where i did Close to public transit, close to stores (New Seasons and Fred Meyer), and close enough to work that I can get there in 5 minutes by car if I need to drive.
This also means I can go home and get something if I've forgotten it at home. I've even done this by bus.

Today I decided not to start work early. I've worked early (6 or 6:30 am) every day. Because we have such a great public transit system, I was able to hope on the number 4 bus around 7 am and know that I would stil get to work well before 7:30 am.
I didn't even get up until 6:20 am this morning. Still had time to shower and make a nice rice milk ice coffee with the esspresso maker (more on that later).
