I broke out the trailer today. Water softener is out of salt, so I stopped by the HW store on the way home. Riding with 40 lbs of salt in a trailer is taxing, so I slow way down, to like 10-11 mph. Today makes the SECOND time in my life that someone has actually pulled up to me to inform me how I'm endangering the life of my child by riding in traffic at night. Last time it was groceries and I was bad for it being below zero and me having them out. This time it was dark and in traffic. Still, loved the look on her face when I said..."Lady, its salt."

Today also marked the 9th day in January when I rode my bike as transportation. The Truck is getting lonely.
