There were significantly fewer cars on the road today than would be on an ordinary Monday morning rush hour.  Lots of people must have the entire pre-Christmas week off of work.

I know that lots of people have vacations, holidays, floating days, and the like; but it is surprising how many people seemed to have gotten this particular week off of work.  I'd say that 100% of the people I know are working -at least half of- this week, but there seems to be about 75% less traffic on the roads today.  Why don't I know any of the people who are staying home this week?

Weird. This is one of those times where anecdotal evidence (everyone I know is working) is at a conflict with reality (lots of people have the day off).

Well, I know that many schools and universities are out for the holidays so that may contribute to it a little. I always thought it was spooky when I was out driving at rush hour and there was hardly anyone, it always made me think that the rapture happened and I was left behind!
