Funny commute today. One car didn't see me, and pulled out from a side street in front of me,
but I was ready for it. A few minutes later, a motorist stopped in the middle of the street where
there was no stop sign, because I was waiting to take a left across his path. I usually wave these
people on, but there were cars backing up behind me, so I went. Then, after that, another driver
decided to change direction in the middle of an intersection, as I was following behind. She would
have right-hooked me, had I been further ahead.

This evening, I picked up our weekly crop and flower share, so I put the old rack on my bike this a.m.
I strapped the ½ bushel box to the rack, and tied up the flowers in a plastic bag and secured them
through the drops of my handlebars. First time I had done this, and it worked pretty well. My old touring
bike is turning out to be a great utility cycle. All I need now is a trailer.
