This first week after 'daylight saving time' kicks in really sucks. I have trouble getting to sleep at the regular time, struggle to get out of bed in the morning, and it's still dark at 7am when I want to get on my bike and ride to work. I made the decision last weekend to stay off the bike for this first week of the time change for those reasons. Then the news this morning showed three different school bus accidents nationwide on Monday, and cited the time change and overtired drivers as part of the problem. Don't need to knock me in the head! Seems like I made the right decisions when two different soccer moms in SUV's from HELL cut me off in my S10 today in a seven mile commute to work. I've decided to stay off the bike until next week, and allow the drivers a chance to get caught up and working again before I go out there.

Be careful out there guys...everyone is overtired and cranky and it's hard to compete on a bicycle when everyone is caged in two tons of steel and plastic.
