commuting is awesome

At work we have a system of credits we receive for different types of commuting that don't entail one person driving themselves to and from work in one car. The most lucrative mode as far as credits go -- we get $3 for each 2-way trip that exceeds 5 miles in each direction. I live about 12 miles away from work by bike, so I cash in the maximum $3 for each day I choose to ride. Add that to about three-fifty in gas it costs me to drive out to Bloomington and back and we're talking about some serious coin.

Month to date, I have $45 in credits accrued.
I also filled the gas tank in my car for the first time this evening since June.

Suck it, Exxon.
You too, Cheney.
