   I am inclined to agree with 122582, the gesture of offering a tip to help on the gas would be appreciated.

	That was a great contributions to slug (riders) yesterday. Even though HOV restrictions were lifted, drivers still came by the Pentagon to pick slugs up. Whoever picked me up, thank you for your time and effort.

	My ride home was only about 10 minutes longer than normal and I did pick up slugs at the Pentagon. Three to be exact. I don't only look out for myself when restrictions are lifted!!

	122582, I am certainly not telling you that you SHOULD pick people up when you don't have to. Obviously. I am glad that there were enough selfless people out there to get us home. I am grateful every day for every ride I receive. Why is that $82.00 you paid for gas relevant? It would have been that much slugs or no, right? And we've covered the tipping issue ad nauseum on here. We're each getting something out of this - we EACH get to work quicker. That's why I personally don't tip (although I almost did yesterday to express my thanks to those who went out of their way to help others...).

	I almost took three but it was still early. My only comment to my riders was "I brought two of you in this morning so I am darn sure going to drag two of you out now".

	122582 is one of those people who don't use A/C and do all the no nos drivers can do!

	"almost did"? What up wid dat? Try using that with your spouse or dating partner: Hon, I almost bought you a gift on our anniversary, but I thought about it and that's just as good, right? NoSb SOV because you can, HOV because you care!

Well I guess 122582 you should take the regular lanes in the morning. Let turn it around, you slugged in that morning. what would you have done. Would you be mad if drivers say 'The hell with a slugg I'm heading home solo' Come on now. You sitting on the corner and you don't get a ride. Treat others the same way you want to be treated. FYI: I have a Avalanche and putting 50 + dollars is the normal for me. But you decide to drive your truck into work and you got there early that morning with little or no traffic. So don't b*tch about gas when you get to work 2 times faster than others in the normal lanes. If you feel like slugging is beneath you then jump in the normal lanes and get to work when you can.

	As I rounded the corner to my normal pick up area at Lenfant to Horner I told myself that if there is anyone standing out there and ready to jump in I would pick them up. And at 3:15, 2 people were already waiting. So in they came and the first question..."You guys know of a different way to get home?"
