7C/45F. Cold. Had a toque under my helmet for the first little bit as the ears were cold. Went slower today due to aching quads from kickboxing workout. Cycling does not help...

Yelled at a driver of a pickup truck who cut waay too close to the bike lane turning right, then proceeds to drive in the bike lane while looking for a parking spot. Earlier, I was stopped at a red light when a cyclist comes off the sidewalk in front of me on the green light. Turns out she is a slow cyclist. So why does she come off a sidewalk, go in front of me only to be slow? Why not wait for me to proceed since I am the one on the road waiting at the light? <sigh> Why try and hold back the tide.

On the other hand, a letter I wrote to newspapers got published in two different local papers with different tones depending on the editing. So I can be too unhappy.
