Agreed. Felt cooler than the reported 34° when I left. Still a nice ride in. Just took a little extra time to get warned up. Stopped off at the bank to get a little cash from the ATM.

Did have one guy pass me uncomfortably closely near my house. I had my PB Super Flash plus one other blinkie on so there's no reason he should not have seen me. In situations like this I don't know what to think. Either the guy was being a dick, or he was multitasking at the wheel and didn't see me b/c he wasn't looking. I'd probably actually prefer the former because at least then I know they're watching where they're going and probably not actually going to hit me. If they're not paying attention, OTOH, who knows what could happen?

As for last rec'd warm temps, time to get used to them again. Temps forecast for the next couple afternoons are in the sixties.

Where, o where, has my beloved winter gone?
