AM Drive -

Sucked, there was an accident on I-95 just north of exit 67 in MD on the southbound side so I had to get off at exit 74 and I decided to take Philadelphia Rd to Whitemarsh. Not bad, but I wasted about 10 minutes doing so. It could've been worse.

And for some more stats...

August 7

This chart illustrates the days I purchase gas in totals. 1 is Sunday, 7 is Saturday. I'm sure you can figure out the days in between. I just bought gas this morning so I thought I'd share this with you.

The drive has been really light this week, besides Monday evening of course. You can really tell that there are less people on the roads.

I saw the Oct-Nov Mercedes this morning, but that was it.

August 5, AM Drive

I left @ 6:06 today, not great but just in time to see the gray Prius as he raced pass me and the old lady in the maroon Mercury.

Last Friday, August 1

My easy driving week came to an abrupt end during the Friday evening commute. Three hours to get home. Three. Some airhead decided to not get his car checked up on and broke down in the middle of the Harbor Tunnel, so I sat for about 40 minutes in the same spot.

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!
