We do have some slowing here at t 8. 80 over crossing, spilling back to west grand and sometimes at the bottom of the maze, but its not really sticking and ok trip across the upper deck, 18 minutes, not bad at all to make that drive into San Francisco highway for recovering from a couple of problems on the concord side 28 minutes, they were minor 28 minutes antioch to concord and then its filling in as expected and so as one oh one, 42 minutes, not too bad from san jose to menlo park back to you.
