DEL.ICIO.USBeats paying for gasoline
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Unlike my colleagues in the editorial department, I don’t find getting to work (or back home) much of a hassle.
It typically goes like this: After a 12- to 15-minute drive from my home to the park’n’ride lot at Ga. 20 and I-985 in Buford, I board the Gwinnett Transit 101 bus for downtown at 7:45 (sometimes earlier, sometimes later — they start at 5:45 and run every 15 minutes through 8 o’clock).
For the next 45 minutes to an hour, I chat with a seatmate, read, work a crossword or nap. I get off on West Peachtree and walk down Broad to Marietta, then a couple of more blocks to the office. I get in before 9.
The trip costs me a little bit more than a gallon of premium. It’s the only way to go.

Aww, Larry, I thought you were on the bus reading all those good letters you get. Well, I guess it is a little hard to carry a computer with you. But with all that money you are saving on gas, you can give those poor old letter writers a big party. Don’t forget now.
