Mom, I miss you like crazy and could write about you forever, but it's time to get back to my blog....

Good news, they opened up the new BART parking structure and I HAVE RESERVED PARKING!!! It's costing me more than double the daily lot price, but I don't have the fear of getting there after 7:30 am on a Tuesday and not being able to find a parking spot. The $63.00 a month is a cheap price for piece of mind, well maybe not cheap but piece of mind none the less.

The first three days I was able to park in the one of the first 4 slots on both sides of the aisle. Now I'm getting there and parking in about the 10th slot. Either it's catching on or I'm pushing it how late I can get there before I really have to run to the train and people are beating me to the first spots, or others have signed up the reserved parking too. With the price of gas at $4.35 a gallon I'm sure more and more people are taking BART or will be soon. Either way, I'm a happy camper. Oh and bonus - this summer when it's 105 degrees in Pleasanton, my car will be parked in the shade.

I've noticed in the past 2 weeks that more and more people on the train smell like pot. Has my nose become more sensative or are the pot smokers of the world spending their money on pot and BART rather than pot and gas for their car? Has anyone else noticed this too. I can understand it a bit more on the ride home, but come on people, it's 7:30 am for christ sakes...and you smell like you just lit up!

Enough for now, but I'll be back...
