[start rant]
I run the kids to Broomfield alot in the morning. When you get back to Boulder, highway 36 turns into 28th street right around Colorado. How long have they been working on this area of the road? They put in new medians, huge walls on the side of the road, new fancy decorative foliage in the median, yada yada. That went on for what seemed like forever. Now, they’re doing more stuff in that area. Digging up the road, repaving, blocking traffic for 5 minutes at a time. I wish they would just shut the whole thing down for a month and get it done, once and for all.
Yesterday, I met two guys from Yahoo that have been out in Silicon Valley and just relocated here. I had just gotten out of this crazy traffic, which delayed me 10 minutes. They were like “traffic. whatever.” True, I guess. But man, this is Boulder. Let’s build a bypass already. Most of these people are just going way north anyway.

Getting a little testy? Slow down, enjoy life.

I am one of those two ex-Yahoo! folks mentioned. When you’ve had to sit on 101 both ways going into the city for over an hour each way, a 15 minute commute is nothing. Of course, working on the Caltrain is nice– or if you’re a Googler, getting wifi on the bus is even better. But we now have the best commute of all– a 50 foot walk downstairs to a home office. I plan on putting more miles on the bike than the car this year– how about you?
