Back to work, and fun on the freeway!

[Gone in 60]

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.
