Traffic!

Yesterday I came to work like a breeze, in under 17 minutes or so. I felt very good. I thought it had everything to do with leaving at 8:45AM. Even in the evening, I reached home under 17 minutes. Needless to say, that felt really good. Until today morning - I thought I could extend the same performance in the future. I left at 8:46AM today and got caught up in the traffic pretty soon - only then it struck me that yesterday was Martin Luther King day and people might have had their day off and hence did not crowd the roads! The traffic happiness is short lived at best, in Southern California. I could reach no sooner than 25 minutes. Bach's Toccata and Fugue kept playing in the repeat mode for almost three times before I could reach! I guess this is still better than that one day when Beethoven's 9th symphony was fully completed by the time I could reach home. That was in LA though.
