Blog Entry 110 of 210 From the mountains to 6th Avenue
Many Evergreeners commute. It's been described as a commuter community. Accurate. So there is an etiquette to commuting. The first rule: Leave early. Even if you depart for a 9 to five job at 6:30 a.m., you will not be alone. If you like being alone on the highway, go to Montana. The second rule: Leave early If you don't get off til 5 p.m., take a book on tape, because you will be sitting in traffic near Federal and 6th, and entertainment of any kind is helpful. There are polite drivers, like me, who let others sneak in, especially in merge lanes. I try. You probably do too. The one thing I have decided that will not happen to me is that I will not be mangled in a car wreck on 6th Avenue or I-70 in either direction. What do you do to keep this promise to yourself?

How cold is one degree?


The digital temperature sign in front of Evergreen National Bank on Main Street said 1 degree this morning.

Just a lonely little digital numeral one in yellow on a big black sign.

Really.

It's lonely out here when it's this cold.

One degree.
Yes, it felt cold. And no we didn't have to wait long for the RTD bus to show up.

No it is not warm on buses that run from Evergreen to downtown Denver.

If I have to pick something to complain about, and that's only human nature, why pick something good to talk about when most people are more attracted to negative aspects of the human condition?

Anyway.
The view is obscured on these cold mornings.
Yes there are windows, big windows.

But if you want to see what's happening out there on the road or across the horizon, you have to do a condensation removal procedure.

I debated doing this.
How?
With my glove on of course.
But no, I changed my mind and thought, then my glove will be wet.

So I rode onin obscurity with all the other passengers across the white, drizzly, cold frozen landscape from the mountains to Sixth Avenue.

How is your ride into work on these cold mornings?
