I usually get home from work around 4pm and it&#8217;s such a relief to have 2 WHOLE days ahead of me where I don&#8217;t have to fight the rat race unless I want to.  Since I&#8217;ve been riding the bike I get home anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes faster than I did in the truck.  Although that helps a lot the stress of lane splitting(LS) up the 405 might offset it.  I do better than I did the first few times but it&#8217;s still not a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imagelink\" title=\"FZ1.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/FZ1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image92\" alt=\"FZ1.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/donlafferty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/06\/FZ1.thumbnail.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><br \/>\nI do miss having my coffee on the way to work but the coffee shop in our building serves Starbucks.  I didn&#8217;t realize it but Starbucks is pretty darn good.  It&#8217;s not bitter and it wakes me up without giving me the jitters(as long as I keep it to 1 cup).I&#8217;ve noticed there are 3 types of drivers when it comes to LS.  Most of them don&#8217;t move at all.  Some of them move out of the way.  And once in a while you come upon a jerk that actually moves towards you to keep you from passing.  I have no idea why they do that except for maybe dog-in-the-manger syndrome.  They can&#8217;t get ahead and they don&#8217;t want anyone else to either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love Fridays.
