I experienced a pleasant fluke in my morning commute. It took me only 
76 minutes to reach work. The rest of the morning has been busy, but 
the lab calendar is clear for the rest of the day. I won't mind the 
peace and quiet around here.

It appears that SDF is having issues with their Gopher server. I was 
going to browse around their Gophersphere a bit, but my client errors 
out with a "Not Found" error. I'll just wait. It's not the end of the 
world. ;)

As I surmised, the issue has been resolved. The travel time home was 
decent at 84 minutes, which included a stop to make a deposit on the 
way.
