The ride home was OK last night, though as dcb23 pointed out, there was a bit of a southerly wind=headwind home. Winds back out of the northwest this morning and blowing hard. I'm on the mend from my cold, though. Feeling better with the passage of time, and the commute is getting back to something resembling its regular ease.

In sad news, my PB Super Flash died a pianful death last night. Long story short, I got home and realized that the light part had popped off somewhere along the way home. Only the part that clips to the rack mount was still attached. I didn't have time to go back and look for it, so I resigned myself to going to find it this AM, retracing last night's commute. Found it outside the bank where I'd stopped the w/d some cash last night. It must have fallen off when I wheeled my bike down over the curb. I don't know how I dind't hear or see it fall off, but I didn't. Sadly, it had been crushed by a motor vehicle. I picked up the big pieces and the batteries. I seem to remember a thread around here about PB replacing Super Flashes that had suffered the same fate, and I thought having the pieces might somehow strengthen my case. Now off to search for that thread.
