When I left work this morning there was a thunderstorm about to hit so I took the most direct route home. I knew that a few blocks of the road was going to be hell because of potholes, cracks, uneven pavement, and it being shut down to one lane cause of construction I never saw actually happening.. After avoiding this route for weeks I was gladly surprised to see a brand new stretch of wide lane blacktop that began at the start of the second hill I have to go up on my way home. This made my morning commute SO MUCH BETTER.

As for coming to work. Great warm weather and no traffic so it was a breeze. I think I cranked it out fast enough to shave a few minutes off my usual commute time. Now I have to wait until morning to see if there's going to be another T-storm. Reports say one should start about the second I leave work....
