I got up this morning with the full intention of taking BART to work today.  I was even ahead of schedule and had extra time to walk (not run) to the Muni station.  Then a weird thing came over me as I was about to head out the door.  I thought, “Maybe I should just drive.”  So, as I drove across the Bay Bridge, the guy on the radio said that BART was delayed and that no trains were leaving from Embarcadero (my stop) or West Oakland…BECAUSE THERE WAS A FIRE!!!  Dude, close call.  I would have been totally screwed.  It occured right when I was supposed to get on the train.  I totally lucked out today.
