In March and April it was a joy to commute my ten miles each way to work and back. Cars were much less numerous. Often (at 6 AM) I'd be the only one on the streets. But now it's much worse. So much so that I have actually re-routed my commute to avoid all the busy thoroughfares and now cut across quiet neighborhood stress. Takes me longer to get to work, but the benefits of lower cortisol levels in my veins are worth the slight delay.
