The morning commute

The evening commute

I can’t tell you how many times during my daily commute that I encounter drivers like these two that feel it is perfect OK to cut in front of you so close that you have to brake hard to avoid hitting them. And this, mind you, is without any turn indicator.

Osama and the Morning Commute

I read in the Houston Chronicle this morning that Osama bin Laden was killed yesterday. Good. Had an interesting drive to work this morning. The traffic was really getting think on 59 S. as I drove in from Humble, so I I got off at the Crosstimbers exit. Drove west on Crosstimbers, then south on Jensen. Turned right on Calvacade. Got held up for about 15 minutes by a train. Turned left and drove south on Hardy. That merged into the Elysian Street overpass. Very cool way to come into Houston. Drove west on Prarie, which merged into Memorial. Then drove south on Shepherd and west on Alabama. Except for the train it would have been a pretty fast trip.

We were just insanely busy at work today so I don’t have a lot to post. Here are a couple of shots from the daily commute.

This first one is of a homeless person sleeping on the deserted railroad tracks that parallel 59 S.

On the way home I passed by a couple of cool place.

Rahab!

Had my first physical therapy session at N.E. Rahab in Humble. My therapist, Mary Jo, had me warm up for 10 minutes on an elliptical. The rest of the session was basically just supervised stretching and exercise. At the end of the session she showed me how to tape my left knee to help keep the kneecap in alignment while exercising. I’m not sure how much actual value there is to be had from these sessions. I think I would get as much value from just being given instructions and then turned loose at the gym.

Lunch

Got in a quick cardio workout at the LA Fitness by work. Did a bit of rowing followed by elliptical.
