Nice. It was 36 degrees but pretty clear, and it's light now at 5:00 when I leave. I slowed down at several points up on the ridge to enjoy the scenery. I got passed by one van in my 9 mile commute.

It may sound like I'm bragging about my speed or something, when I mention how few people pass me in the morning. That's not it. I'm bragging about how little traffic I have to deal with.

I saved a rubber boa snake on the way home. He was sunning himself in the gravel road. I went by first, around him, then realized that the next car would squish him. So I turned around, picked him up, and set him off to the side of the road. They are also called two-headed snakes, as they have very blunt tails.
