Traffc makes me wish i lived in a remote locale

So my clever plan of arriving to work later than the usual 8-9ish, was utterly foiled today.
Why were there so many people on the road at 9:30? I chose not to investigate if there was an actual reason for this anomaly - though other co-workers complained of the same thing in other parts of the city. And so, as I hate to spend 2 parts of the day sitting in traffic - I'm still hovering over my computer in Oakland, getting some things done. The only thing that sucks about working late - my stomach is angry! It's dinner time and there's no food anywhere to be found near my mouth. ho hum. One day i'll live somewhere where traffic doesn't exist.


Something goofily interesting:
The dog-ter is in. A study in the 24 September British Medical Journal finds that dogs can sniff out cancer. Previously untrained dogs of various breeds learned over several months to distinguish urine samples from bladder cancer patients from samples from healthy people, choosing correctly about three times more often than would be expected by chance alone. The finding backs up anecdotal reports of canine diagnoses, but experts caution that dogs are unlikely to replace oncologists anytime soon
