I went out this morning. After the storm of last week, it was nice when I woke up to the sun shining.

The wind was relatively calm, the roads were plowed and dry, the sun was blazing on all the snow, it was beautiful out.

I pulled into the local mart on the way home to pick something up. I was sweaty and glad to take my gloves off. I almost wanted to stretch out in the sun on a picnic table and take a nap. It felt almost hot outside.

Same old thing, a woman entering the store while pulling her coat closer around her looked over and said: "you must be crazy to be out riding that on a day like this."
