Aborted. I nutted up for a low-20-degrees ride in, got my layers on, dogs fed, lunch and pannier packed, all a little early because I knew I had to swap my main headlight for my old HID, to send it in for repair. That took too long and I missed my window for leaving and still making it to the train station in time by 3-4 minutes.

I went back in, unpacked, redressed, checked email on my phone only to find a minute-old message from the transit authority telling me all trains were delayed 20 minutes for track repair. Coulda made it. Grrr.

Another beautiful sunrise this morning, tho'

Almost got in a head-on with a car last night, as she turned to go the wrong way down a one-way street, straight into me. Cell phone glued to her ear, naturally. Especially endearing was the way she angrily gestured at me to get out of her way, until she finally saw the 'one-way' sign I kept pointing to.
