The word for today's commute ride on the UO8 is "dappled". The Blackstone Bikeway was dappled with both fallen leaves and sunlight slanting through the still-green unfallen leaves. If I hadn't been going 15mph I would have stopped and taken a picture. However I did take these:

Waiting for the train this foggy morning:

Crossing under I95 on the way in to work this morning, a picture I've been wanting to take for a year:

Of course there is always a cosmic payback. As I was riding the train this morning I noticed a bulge in my rear tire. Closer inspection showed that the sidewall threads in one direction had been cut for about 3/4th of an inch, but the threads in the other direction were intact. Fortunately it did not blow out on the ride in or the ride out. I wonder how long it's been that way? I guess I'll be heading off to the bike shop this weekend.
Jim, I really like the picture of the bike on the train platform. I don't know why, but pictures with a little haze or fog are very appealing to me.
