Michael Smith reminded us this morning that, "psychological damage to drivers.
And those most seriously affected are, of course, the least aware of their
illness."

Michael, I change my mode of commuting quite regularly.  I use my little van
for a time so I can get home a lot sooner.  After a while I begin to tire
of the traffic and switch back to BART, but after a while I get tired of
getting home much later and get back into my van.  There is really no one
method of commuting that is psycologically stable.  The BART is better on
the environment but my van is quicker.  The really big problem on the car
side is all those people out there who are in commute traffic, driving while
using their laptop computer with cellular phone gramped under their right ear,
looking into their briefcase for that one special reposrt -- CRASH!!
Those guys scare me.

I agree, public transportation is better but even that get psycologically
depressing after a time.

Wishing for a heliocopter,
Ron
