Grog--Many thanks. I'm trying to muster the courage to commute to my new work locaton, and while most of it is MUT, the last few miles are fairly busy roads. I'm scared, to be honest, but I'm trying to make the best of the fact that my commute is being tripled by this insipid move. I figure riding my bike to work will help. Thank goodness, I can start applying for another assignment in December. I'm five miles from the headquarters facility where I work, and with some luck, I can land a new job there or at least in a location closer to the W&OD.

Your post is a big help, and I greatly appreciate it. I'm printing it off.
