Man! I think I deserve a public transportation gold star for my extensive use of it today. To wit: early morning, I took the bus downtown to go to the dentist; took the light rail and bus back home; an hour later ran out to the airport by bus and light rail, took Alaska Airlines to San Francisco; stopped at the office for two hours at the Embarcadero station, and then went back and took the BART train out to Walnut Creek. (There is another convention or something going on in the city, and all the hotel rooms are double their normal expensive rates).
