Rode in to work today. Got there about 7:15 and there's a whole bunch of folks standing around outside the entrance. Turns out there's no power in the building. Initially we were told it would take less than 1 hour to fix. So we all stood around until 8:45 when they finally said it would be at least 4 hours to fix. So I rode home. At least they set up a recorded message we can all check before heading back in. Looks like I might get 80 miles of commuting today!

I plan on doing ALOT of "commuting" when I´m unemployed after my exam in a month.
Ahh, life is sweet once in awhile..

Of course it does.

If you ride anywhere to avoid the use of a motorized vehicle it couts as commuting in my book!
