Reno to Sacramento

I consider myself a conservationist, and while I?m new to the inter-city use of public transportation, I?m conducting an experiment to see whether this mode of travel is efficient enough for business use. As I was leaving the house, my wife said, ?Sometimes I think you take this stuff too far. Buses use lots of gas, and how much is your time worth, anyway? It?s not worth it.? I tried to explain that the buses run whether or not I?m on them, the environmental benefits of public transportation, and that I?m in no hurry as anytime I do anything in the data center requires an overnight stay. She just shook her head. Some folks just don?t get it, even the spouses of conservationists.
