The day after our arrival in San Jose, we unpacked the car and gave it a good wash. I don't know why I didn't go to commercial car wash. There are lots of those in Silicon Valley. Anyway, the car looked great after. Ken would soon be jetting his way back to DC and I would take a short road trip down to LA to see some people I knew. Then classes started up and I was doing that horrific commute. I had never experienced freeway traffic simply stopping because there were too many cars on the road. Add a minor fender-bender and it's hell. Neither one of us commuted by car in DC (we could both walk to work), so if traffic was bad, we didn't really notice. I was grateful when a friend of Ken's offered to let me house sit at her apartment in SF for a week or two while she was away.
It looks like we're in for a spell of nice weather as the week goes on. Yay! I may be able to mow before the weekend. Leaves haven't started falling yet, so we have that to look forward to.
We commuted from SF to Berkeley on BART which was the best way to go at the time. The few times we took the car I was grateful we didn’t always have to do it. Our first couple of months there, though, we rented a house the required us to take Muni to BART. Awful! We immediately understood why it was known at Muniserable.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to drive in the traffic here, I would move. I bet the Subaru outlasted the Ford.
