Techno and the AutoBahn of the Bay

280 is definitely the AutoBahn of the Bay Area.

So I ask myself, "Self, why have you been making the hellish commute from Santa Cruz to Oakland via the convergence of the 5th circle of hell (aka 880) and then catching carpool to work rather than Autobahning straight in to SF and parking in Maria's $7 parking garage?"

Self: "ummm? Because I'm afraid to acknowledge I'm in a relationship, scared of change, and ultimately I don't want to deal with driving _home_ from SF because that might be kind of like dealing with the 3rd circle of hell?"

Self back to Self: "You realize however, that the 3rd circle of hell is significantly better than the 5th, yes? I mean, you did read all the Inferno, did you not?"

Yes, I believe I did.

And seriously, breaking 90 during commute hours while drinking coffee and bouncing to techno is enough to make anyone happy. That, coupled with the fact that today was the first time in months that I've been early to work means I should keep up this AutoBahn $7 garage trick.
