7:25 a.m. Vallejo, and a really large Nissan Quest suv is waiting for me with the side door open. It automatically slides shut when I’m in.
Driver is a small woman with a short haircut combed so that it looks like she’s been electrocuted. It’s Friday Casual where she works I’d bet – she’s wearing jeans of course, and has on a grey hoodie and a canvas vest with a fur collar over that. It’s a kind of woman-warrior from the steppes look. It’s good.
Easy Friday traffic and I’m so comfortable in the back of this vast vehicle that I could just stay here all day. Hey, the Bay Area Toll Authority did a preliminary vote yesterday on the tolls. No surprise – they unanimously voted for carpool tolling – $2.50 per car beginning in July. Final vote on January 27.
3-day weekend coming up!
