I have also noticed less boating on the Colorado River.  I guess racing your
boat up and down the river at $4 a gallon costs too much.

Nice change.  Atlanta seems to be still congested in my area, but it's
mainly cause they are doing construction on all lanes in downtown
right now.

During the Olympics in 1996 there was a HUGE campaign to get people
off the roads because they predicted total gridlock with all the extra
event traffic..  Alot of people actually took vacations, closed their
businesses, or worked from home during the Olympics.

The result?  Rush hour basically didn't exist in Atlanta for a couple
of weeks.  It was incredible.
