Fridays and the First Rule

I'm not quite sure what the cause is, but my Friday commute is always much faster than other days. Today, as Good Friday, is probably a special case with people taking the day off. I suspect that a lot of government workers (of which Sacramento has plenty) work flexible schedules (four ten hour days, for example) that allow time off on some Fridays. All this makes for much lighter traffic. In any case, I got to work 15 minutes early today, in time to eat one of the scarce office doughnuts.

And this brings me to Thczv's First Rule of Driving: It is better to go than to stop. Given that I didn't really even slow down much on my commute this morning, today is a good day for the First Rule. All other rules serve the First Rule.
