... heat???

I now carry the laws with me in my messenger bag. Mostly for the cops.

My commute included a conversation with the train conductor that is on the 7:06 every day. I had left my wallet w/monthly pass home (had driven in the downpours since my son wasn't going on the kiddie seat in an epic downpour. It always messes me up when I switch to car mode-- nothing is in place the next day.)

The conductor said that he had "never seen me before in his life." I told him that I was the folding bike guy and he relented.
