Just think about it like a race and shoot for the holes. 
Don't ever let yourself target fixate on the idiots in cars, keep moving. You'll get used to it fast. hopefully.

Complete horror show!!!!.
Just kidding it is going pretty well, thanks. Moving is an enormous PITA.
I spent all of last week in SF on business. It went very well, but I ended up getting sick...too many hours in airplanes and not enough sleep...
Our first container shipped today.
I decided to ship my Monster in the second container later this month.
We plan on being there "officially" in early February.

I gotta admit, riding on those busy roads is a little scary to me!

What's scarier is that you'll get used to it. Nay, even learn to enjoy it.

I moved here (SF Proper) from rural Vermont. It can be done. And remember, lane splitting makes it better.

We'll get you out on a city ride and give you a gentle intro to it.

DEAL!!!

If you're here at the end of the month, Zeitgeist is in SF on the last Thurs of the month.  Come by after work.   

Sadly, I won't be there until early February. But I'll make the next one.

Its all perspective, try this...

Driving in Hanoi

Well, we will be arriving tomorrow night.

Sadly the Monster will not be arriving for several weeks. It is happily strapped into a shipping container in the driveway right now and will not departs the islands for a few days.

Thanks for all the input/advice during the run-up to the move.

I hope to meet you all soon.

I'm going to quote that just because it'll come back to haunt you

I hope that I won't be able to see the bones in your face anytime soon.

Congrats on the move and hope to meet you soon!

Unbelievable;

Do to some absolutely ridiculous circumstances involving one of our dogs and a reaction to a bee sting we were not able to fly yesterday.

So we are going to try again tomorrow.

This is starting to feel like an episode of LOST.
We can't leave the island!
