Finding the Positives About Having to Work Late
Ever have one of those days when you had to work late?
Ok, we’ve all had our share of those. But, have you ever noticed how leaving work a little bit later can make the drive home much more enjoyable?
Traffic in Roanoke probably peaks around 5PM most days. But, there really is no rush hour in Roanoke, maybe a rush half-hour or so. Usually, I leave work at 4:30-4:45 so I’m apt to run into a little traffic on the way home.
Well, yesterday I didn’t leave work until about 6:15. And it really is amazing how much more laid back the short commute home is, if I just make it about an hour or an hour-and-a-half-later than usual.
So, with traffic light, temperatures mild, sunshine shining, and my camera snapping I make my way home from the downtown area.

Hi! It’s been great reading your blog. I’m moving to the Roanoke area this summer to begin graduate school in the fall. It’s been so confusing trying to find out about the area, where to live, entertainment, etc. Your blog has given me a little more insight in to the area. Thanks!
