August 1 - Regrets to my readers!

I know, I've been an awful blogger. I was on vacation where I wasn't driving (I rode in a bus!) and ever since I've been out-of-whack. So, for the week, I've...

1. Purchased 13 gallons of gas
2. Driven 812 miles
3. Seen the gray douche Prius once, on Tuesday
4. Seen the old lady with the maroon Mercury Sable once, also Tuesday
5. Seen the old lady in the gold Mercedes with the plate OCT-NOV once, also Tuesday
6. Realized that I sync up with those drivers best when leaving after 6:07 AM
7. Have averaged less than 2 hours per drive home and to work all week!

It has been a light driving week, in time spent in the car anyway.

My total miles driven though, that's really bucking a national trend. See the chart below...


4,647 miles in the month of July ALONE! Whew!

July 16, AM & PM Drive

I left the house at 6:05 AM yesterday, the same time I left the house on Tuesday. This of course makes me mad since I usually get out of the house early on Wednesdays. I don't know why this happened, I was just slow I guess. I saw the same cars I usually see in the morning. One is a maroon Mercury, I forget the model, that heads from DE route 7, turns on 40, and appears to enter into the ATK complex in Elkton. ATK manufactures rocket propellant there. I also saw the douchey Prius driver speeding along at 70 MPH on 40. Like THAT'S getting him good mileage. He just bought it since today was the first day I saw that his temp tag was no longer on the car. He looks like somebody I'd like to punch! There's also the older lady in her sand-colored Mercedes C Class with license plate DE OCT-NOV. She turns off on MD 213 from 40. I got to work at 8:07 AM.

I left work to come home @ 4:09 PM. Nothing significant besides the fact that I've noticed an increase in Alaska license plates recently. I got home @ 6:03.

July 15, AM & PM Drive

I left work @ exactly 4:00 PM (awesome!) and was able to get home at 5:58 PM so I was able to keep it under 2 hours. Pretty boring drive overall, no accidents or anything.

I did get gas in the morning. I left @ 6:05 AM, arrived @ Wawa @ 6:31 AM, and still ended up at work @ 8:00 AM on the dot. I purchased 5.673 gallons of gas for $3.939/gal.

July 14, PM Drive

I left work @ 4:19 PM. Usually the pigs are out and walking around but I didn't see any today. I got onto the BW Parkway about 10 minutes later, pretty typical. For the most part, nothing special happened between getting on 295 and getting through the Harbor Tunnel. @ 5:01 I hit traffic merging with I-95. Weak! This isn't so bad because I watch people driving, like some douchebag who was listening to his satellite radio on the same station I was listening too. I could tell because he was singing to the words that were suddenly coming out of my radio. After Exit 77 things picked up and I was on my way home. I got off @ Exit 100 because I was picking up dinner. North East, MD is full of some douchey drivers. Some dick in a Neon almost plowed into me, I also watched a beardo walking down 40 like he was homeless. I finally made it home @ 6:31 PM. Would have been better without the dinner pick-up but I was starving.
