74-77F this afternoon and mostly cloudy with headwinds from the ESE @ 4-10mph. I left campus a little later than usually and had to deal with more idiots than usual. On Berkshire Ave, which is a 35mph 4-lane road, a car and a motorcycle blew by me at over 50mph weaving through traffic. The light ahead was red and I'm not sure if they even stopped. Dunno if they were racing or just being stupid, but where's a cop when you need one? There also was a diesel pickup who held back and then floored it going by me so there'd be a trail of black smoke. If I had been in the middle of the road holding him up, I could kinda understand, but I was in the 5-7' wide shoulder and he had no problem passing me. I guess he was just being a jerk for no apparent reason. Besides that, it was a good commute home.
