If i laugh, i will call and there you go cough and there you go. The morning commute looks good so far, san mateo ridge, not a bad commute. The traffic looks good over at the highrise and toward the peninsula. There is still a bus bridge on the bart system between pittsburg and North Concorde, and that could put a strain on highway 4.
