OK, guess everyone is low on energy today.....
Here is some drama for ya. Our building is flooded! Someone left the water on in the utility closet on the 6th floor on friday. Our basement currently has 3" of standing water. Whats that mean? Our floors are porous! GREAAAAAAAAAAAT. And 90% of the people here are getting sick but hey, we gotta keep working! *sniff* Kinda smells like the beach though... |

thank you ladies. I guess some are just harder to convince than others, especially if they dont take the same route.

as sludge mentioned, maybe it really depends on the time - maybe the majority travel earlier...i've done 80 the majority of the time during the morning HOV, usually around 8 - 8:15...coming from 123...there were times i could have gone faster and many who passed me while i was doing 80

Nothing is as exciting as the guy I rode with last summer that literally was trying to run Hybrids off the road at 90 miles per hour. VERY scary! So 80, I think I can deal with!
Honestly, if you are a good, defensive driver, 80 is barely keeping up pace on the HOV lanes. |

Depends on the morning. Like today, for example. I was at 80 from Occoquan up to Springfield, then 65 the rest of the way in due to congestion. Other mornings, its 80-85 the whole way in.
You guys saw the movie I made, I am not Speed Demon on the roads. Everyone else was going the same speed as me, it just happened to be 80. Do I need to make another movie? |

quote: Oosik, I'm surprised the slugs aren't all over you and bigmike about your speeds. For a couple of years now, much has been written about how the express lanes during HOV hours are too congested - and it's the hybrids to blame. Which is it - congested or able to drive at or above the speed limit? |
