Marty,

I thought you would pick THAT half of the statement to comment on ...
that was a little test.


I lived in Cardinal Forest near the intersection of Old Keene Mill
Road and Rolling Road. To get the approx. 5 miles to my workplace near
Springfield Mall (near the Kaiser Permanente building there) would
take me 30 min. if I was in a bus, in an EV, or in my car.

I later started working in Herndon. Since the Springfield Bypass did
not exist at that time, I had to take the beltway to the Dulles Access
road and then drive out to Herndon.  It was an hour commute on a good
day and I never left the county. I DID find an alternative path
through Fairfax and out towards Centreville. It saved little time but
the drive was less stressful and more scenic.

One day during a snowstorm it took me 8 hours to get home from work. I
would NOT have wanted to be in an EV that day.
