Three beautiful things: The transportation edition

- It takes me two hours to get to work in the morning, because two big rigs collided on the Sunol Grade on Interstate 880 and spilled oil across the freeway. Impatiently listening to the AM radio to pick up on any traffic updates, I hear the newscasters discussing their colleague's fascination with my favorite cookies: "Every week, he bursts into a new realm of snickerdoodledom."

- In the afternoon, I stop by Macy's for a quick errand, opt for street parking rather than the garage, and discover, to my delight, that there are still 42 minutes left on my parking meter. (This, of course, means I spend way too much time doing extra girly things like checking out earrings, spritzing on perfume, and buying my favorite lipgloss.)

- GMail IM from Z: "Yesterday on BART, a little 4 year old girl said, 'I have pigtails and you don't!'"
