On my last day of work, before retiring, I calculated that in the course of commuting for 30 years to workplaces in Palo Alto and Santa Clara, I traveled 780,000 miles on Interstate 280.
780,000 miles!
That's like making a trip to the moon, and back again, and then returning to the moon. Plus a couple of orbits on each end.
Time-wise (at 2.5 hours a day), if you put all that commute time together into one block, it adds up to 2 solid years of my life wasted on Interstate 280.
A chunk of that was in a 2 or 3 person carpool. But still, my carbon footprint is unforgivably huge. And the wear and tear on my cars and body... ugh.
