Hi.
Welcome to my commuter blog.
Or, shall I say, "our commuter blog". :)
As I sit in traffic every day, I see thousands of people around me in vehicles. We're all different, but we share a common bond in that we're stuck in this gridlock traffic together. It would be great if there was a place we could share stories, insights, commiserations, and perhaps be mildly entertained along the way. So this blog is for you as much as it is for me.
So who am I?
I'm a twitchy, paranoid, shy little guy. I'm stuck in the rat race, and stranded in the burbs about 30 km from my work.
Which city and country I'm in isn't really important; I like to think of myself as an "everyman" (or, I suppose, "everycommuter").
I have to navigate side-streets, highways, bridges (including one undergoing major construction), and a technical college's pedestrian and road traffic to get to my office. I'm just a poor schmuck trying to pay the bills. You've probably been stuck beside me as I try to make my way in to work. I'm the guy with the pencil neck, glasses, golf shirt, and the dead eyes. Next time we're stuck in gridlock, be sure to wave hello.
Cheers,
Lurch
