Getting in to work wasn't much of a problem... the place is half-empty, lots of people must be telecommunting. Cars were shunted off to the side, looped around Space Camp, and then back across Moffett Blvd. to the Ames side entrances. There were only 2 cars in line in front of me, and a very bored guard waved me through without picking my car for random search.

I was a bit annoyed on the way in that someone had tied yellow ribbons to the freeway overpass over US 101, leading in to work. I resisted the impulse to pull over and remove them... going to work is problematic enough without having to inadvertently pass through a pro-war exhibition en route.
