  • Christy S.
    "My commute is longer now b/c I live in Walnut Creek, ca, but I take the back roads to get to Moraga, which is where both my jobs are located. If I leave around the time necessary to get there a couple minutes early, It’s great, but if I’m running late & get stuck behind a slow driver, since most of the roads are one ways...then I’m not so happy! But overall, I have it down. "
