Got yummy carrot cake from Nancy this morning. She always has goodies in hand. Last time it was skin care stuff from Gumps. :cool:

Ahhhh, what I do for a living? Thanks Nancy - I like to think I'm contributing something positive.........

Well, what I "do" is multi-faceted, actually:

I am a student at UC Berkeley - 1) Masters in Civil (Transportation) Engineering, 2) Masters in City and Regional Planning. I work for a research firm: Innovative Mobility Research. Our projects include "smart parking" (those signs that tell you how many parking spaces are available, and the ability to reserve a spot through your cellphone/online), Low-speed modes to Transit (encouraging non-car modes of transportation like walking, biking, segway), pedestrian safety issues, "intelligent transportation systems" (like Fasttrak, 511.org, the signs on I-80 that tell you how long it will take you to get to the bridge, .....) I also work weekends at Juvenile Hall as a youth counselor.

So school full time and anywhere from 20-40 hrs per week of work leaves Cindy a very tired girl - but I do love to ride..............

Yes, and you do a good job of both!!!

Hope you have some time to ride this weekend. We will miss you on Sunday in Napa- that's turning out to be a BIG ride! :D :D

Bummer! But need to entertain BF's visiting friends this weekend............

I couldn't ride on Bike to Work Day, but I rode home from work on Wednesday...only about 9 miles. 'Zat count? I also rode from work on Thursday to join the regular Thursday night ride group.

However...on both nights, I had to go back to work to fetch the car...so I guess no emissions were saved. :eek: Oh well....the good intentions were there. I also put up posters all over City Hall (my workplace) saying "Don't Drive, Ride!"

Is there a Barbara Cleforth in the house (from DC area)? She is a prime TE candidate ;)

If not, somebody find her... she was interviewed as part of a little segment on "alternative commuting" on this mornings edition of Sunday Morning (CBS).
