Today, possibly for the first time ever, I drove really serenely and politely on the way home from work. There wasn't even anyone in front of me on my favorite exit ramp (101 southbound to 280 northbound interchange; estimated speed 97mph), but I just left the cruise control on instead of speeding through it.

And after that, I got all green lights and no traffic in front of me, the whole way. It was amazing. Maybe I was being rewarded for not increasing Bay Area Road Rage.
