Heh. This weekend I was chatting with a friend whose business is buying
and selling CNC machinery. He talked about arriving at his warehouse at
8 AM to find the scheduled local trucker sitting there three hours
before his appointed 11 AM arrival time.

The trucker said he liked to arrive early to make sure nothing went
wrong. "And they pay me by the hour anyway. I like the overtime."

So he got paid three hours overtime for sitting and drinking coffee.

Frank - how has the weather been up there for the last couple of years. Usually when it's dry commuters might chose bicycles but they don't like it in the wet. Especially these days when traffic cops no longer ticket traffic offenders.
