Wednesday, a delivery van driver who is frequently at that light with me, was laughing at all the cars lined up behind him with none behind me. He said to me "They ain't seen you get off the line when this light changes or they'd be behind you, not me." So naturally, I found a few extra watts for Wednesday's green light. He was still laughing when he passed me on the uphill about 1/2 mile later.
