Commute

Can I just say how sick and feckin' tired I am of people driving and the commute in general?!?!?
Jebus Cristo, I even drive the opposite way of the main traffic (morning = N -> S, Evening S-> N), and I still cannot seem to break out of the dumb-asshatery that is most Utah drivers. I mean really, does it take that much common fuckin' sense that if you are going slow in the fast lane and someone comes up behind you going much faster that you should get out of the way? I personally wouldn't think so, but then I can use my brain and drive at the same time. This and soooo many other annoyances are driving me out of my car and onto my bike. Yeah, I figure since I shelled out the cash for a new cycle I should get the most out of it. SO, my plan goes something like this: In the morning I will cycle down to the Ball park trax station and ride it down to 100th south, then I can ride my bike over to the Jordan river park system, and then right to my work. Then, coming home, I can just reverse that order. W00T! Ok, so... lets see.. uhm... how much is a trax pass.. Ok, UTA will tell me. uh, click, click, fares, click... FUCK ME SIDEWAYS SALLY! $50! Are you fucking joking me? Sweet Mary, that is about half of my monthly gas allowance.

Lets do some MATH.

Andy sets aside $120 for gas to get him everywhere. (yeah, I drive an SUV.... fuck off.)
so if I half my gas needs to say $60 a month, and then purchase a trax pass for $50... hmm... I save a whopping $10 a month if I Trax it up to work. gee... thanks UTA, you make it so appetizing to want to use trax.

well, I still think I am going to do it. or at least try for a while. Even with the minimal saving, I still would rather deal with UTA than drive through another rush hour.
