Bouquets to my fellow Highway 101 commuters who respect each other, plan ahead and remain calm in a busy environment.

Brickbats to you few inconsiderate idiots who think you might make it to SLO one minute sooner by driving like a maniac, all too often causing a wreck, bodily injury, property damage and making the rest of us — hundreds, if not thousands — late for work, school and appointments.
