While I do not bike commute we do carpool and DH does hybrid commute a couple of days a week. This minimizes the amount we drive our Dodge Ram Truck. Most of my neighbors assume I have been laid off. Because I like that they think someone is home, I say I have the ability to telecommute because I do but as a tool for overtime not daily work. I am fine with a gas tax, I can buy a fuel efficient car or make changes in driving habits. I would rather have gas taxes than increased property taxes because short of selling my house I can't do a dang thing about those.

I do think politics/causes do not belong at work. I was greatly offended someone thought wearing a political candidate shirt was appropriate (we can wear t-shirts) and it was a political party I tend to favor! I just think there are times and places for everything.
