Well, it was pretty chilly today but nice, with a marine layer . It's the first time I b-c'd since Monday but, oh, how my legs felt refreshed -- even after a mean game of basketball last night.

The ride in was therapeutic in a way. An odd thing I saw: my b-c path takes me very close to the approach at San Jose Int'l Airport. The marine layer (basically thick fog starting at about 500 feet) makes it appear that planes fall out of the sky. You hear it, then -- POOF -- you see it. Anyway, I saw a plane at a different angle than I expected, "gunning" the engines, which I didn't expect. I believe it was "waved off" on the approach ... something you don't often see. My theory was confirmed when -- POOF -- another plane appeared a moment later on a more expected angle and speed.

Kind of wierd. Not something you see every day.
