Day 2-It's getting colder!

I spent the first half of the day waiting for the plumber to come and snake my drain. He arrived about 11:30 and spent about an hour snaking the line, cutting up roots and chip-chopping anything that happened to be preventing stuff from going into the sewer. Gotta love This Old House!
I put some effort into comparing Zipcar to City Car Share vs owning a car, and it seems like maybe City Car Share might be less expensive and they are a non profit! Im going to use Zipcar for the month, but might check out Car Share later.
I also had to figure out how to handle a job I have on Friday. I have a client who lives in Alamo and they are not accessible by public transportation. I checked 511, and the bus only runs by there house 2 times, and the last one is at 7:15am!! In addition to fixing their computer, im giving them a ride to the airport. It looks like im going to rent a Zipcar to drive to their house, then drive them to the airport, and then return the Zipcar.
Shortly thereafter I hopped on Bart and headed to Concord to stop by my sisters house and my parents too. They both needed a little bit of computer help and then I headed over to a clients office and worked for several hours. I was happy to have some work, but bummed I missed the farmers market.
Gabriel Farms and I are forging a little relationship. Tory gives me some fruit and I make ice cream and sorbets with it. I had Fiojas that I turned into a tart sorbet, but I will have to wait till Saturday to give him some. Boo for him, yay for me!
I hopped back on Bart and rode home. Around 7 I headed over to the gym. Its getting colder, but as I was riding I noticed a really skinny guy who only had a t-shirt zip by me, so maybe its just my imagination?! After my workout, I headed over to Breads of India where Kevin and I chopped it up about Goa and on the way home, I decided to ride up a random street. I smiled to myself, because I knew had I been in a car, all I would have seen was the same old homes and gardens and here I was discovering new trees and such.
