Sometimes when I get to complaining about the minor (or major) annoyances in life, it's good to remember how great I have it. I work a job that I'm good at, with people I like, I get paid well, and I don't have to use a car to get to work. My commute on summer mornings is lovely. Sure, there's some dirty industrial areas in the mix, but I like that part of it too. So the following incredibly long post is a photolog in chronological order of my morning commute. Remember this next time you're stuck in traffic in Virginia, Atlanta, or wherever the heck else you work; especially if your commute involves more than 7.5 miles mine does. Enjoy.
This is the view from the bus stop.
Mt. Hood as seen from the bridge.
About to pass under the Fremont Bridge.
I get off the bus and walk past Union Station.
I pass through a lovely courtyard and climb a stairway to a bridge that passes over the train tracks. At the top of the bridge, I see the city:
Walk up the tree-lined streets past the rich folks' condos.
Catch a view of my building:
Walk up the stairs:
Arrive at my desk.
Life can always be better. I think I'll choose to think about what makes my life great.

Love it. Funny I was thinking about the same thing. I get to walk through the woods and over a creek bridge. i love my commute too. Screw driving.
Wow that looks like a fun ride to work, is it better on the way home?
Nah, the way home is about the same but it's on a longer route and after my brain is spent, so I enjoy it less than the morning commute.
I think my commute tops yours...I have none!!!
