On Monday I set personal best commute time, both two and from work. It took less than 30 minutes each way! It seemed like there was 25% less cars on the road. I directly correlate this with the Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur. I knew Yom Kippur was a big deal when the New York Jets asked the NFL to change the start of their game last Sunday, they asked for an earlier start so the Jewish fans could get home by sundown. I have never lived in a place where traffic patterns changed because on a Jewish holiday.

While living in Utah I learned that traffic patterns are also effected for religious reasons. For example, the first weekends in April and October Utah traffic is awful. Especially the Friday night before the Conference weekend. And for our friends in the Provo area this will be compounded with the Cougars of BYU playing their conference football game on Friday night.

dude, conference weekends in Utah are outta control. Mission reunions, family in town, yada yada.
I wish I would have read this post before Friday night. Zach and I were completely stuck driving down to the game. We didn't make it there until half time :( Happy Yom Kippur
You need to post more pictures.
