On Saturday, the California governor announced that churches, retail stores and offices can go back to business if they feel that they are ready, and if they follow guidelines. I've been back to my normal commute since May 12, and my freeway, which is normally bumper-to-bumper, has been running at full speed.

Over the last week, traffic has been slowly creeping back, but I figured that with the weekend announcement of reopening, traffic this morning would be much heavier. It was, running probably about 70% of normal, with areas of wide open, then quickly slowing to a crawl in several places.

A lot of people clearly hadn't gotten back into the regular commuting mindset yet. Some angry driving, some stupid moves. It will require full situational awareness for quite a while until people get back to their normal levels of anger and stupidity.

I've not resumed my daily commute yet (we're WFH until 9/01) but drivers here certainly appear to be more aggressive lately. Lots of speeding (10-15 mph over) which is unusual. Maybe it's because of the empty roads and cheap gas.

My daily commute is from my bed, to the bathroom, then to the kitchen for a cup of coffee, and then to the computer

.... well, and to your stable once in a while, I guess.

Rocky, my wife is now 100% work from home, doing telemedicine appointments. Her commute is from bed, to closet, to coffee, to home office.

Nice not to have to fight over shower time in the morning!

I was just funnin' with ya.
I'm long since retired from the daily grind and that's my normal routine before breakfast. Once I'm caught up with the forum it's time to eat.

Then I attend to the fleet as peterbaron suggested - which isn't that often during the depths of winter.

I like the WFH commute, but what I don't like is working on the tiny laptop screen when I'm used to a dual-monitor fullsize keyboard and wireless mouse set-up. I'm typing this on my personal laptop with a bigger screen than the working laptop. But all in all, I like the WFH.
