Thank goodness it's Fridays, all you folks who don't work at home. Boy, it's been an almost comically-bad week for commuting: doesn't the Gitmo Montgomery shutdown seem like it happened ages ago?
Well, we hope SFist Jon is still at work right now, because we don't think he could stand the latest -- 101 South is completely backed up after a woman jumped off the San Antonio overpass at Palo Alto, causing a seven-car pileup. Suicide is never the answer, but it's definitely not the answer when it involves ruining people's weekends too. Two lanes are still closed.
And at least this time it wasn't a bomb threat (those moved over to three San Jose schools today instead) -- BART had to evacuate the South Hayward station and stop service beyond that stop to Fremont when a fire broke out around noon.
And now it's drizzling again. Can we just all agree to be extra, extra careful on the way home? TGIF.

Actually, the suicide didn't get me but the rain did-- SamTrans was twenty minutes late picking me up. Between that and a BART hold up at 24th, it took me a total of two hours to get home.
PS- Go 'Nova!
First time reader and poster, found the site searching for more info on the 101 jumper, and I love it.
I had a ton of one liners in my head during my THREE HOUR commute home on 101 south today, but none summed it up as well as yours. I tried taking secondary roads and gave up since they were no better. Thanks for making it all better!
