Not sure why, but i guess everyone decides theyre going to work from home on tuesday. In the meantime you have some company but never in a break like that all.

Only a 36 minute ride for the asthma pastor the i will let you know in the westbound direction at port chicago there is an accident it has been moved to the soldier that you might be slowing down as you are headed to the pittsburg antioch area towards the east shore freeway. Not surprising that the southbay commute looks pretty darn good as you head out of san jose on 101. The san mateo bridge is starting to get busier but still light compared to yesterday. This is for whatever reason an easier commute in the westbound direction. Metering lights are on at the bay bridge and have been for about 30 minutes. You can see they are starting to stack up the on the 880 flyover and it is slow going o

That out of the south bay thats it easy drive only a 39 minute ride to the metering lights are not yet on at the bay bridge. You can see the lanes are starting to stack up at other than that everything looks good to go. You have a little bit of extra volume for whatever reason mina on the nimitz.
