Yep. Thinking will get you every time. I was riding and thinking one day about how few incidents I had had with motorists -- how friendly and supportive drivers around me had been in the couple of months I'd been commuting. Just at that moment, a car goes by the other direction and the driver yells, "A**hole!" at me. That's what I get for thinking.

I can't ride in this heat. I'm also between semesters. I sure hope it cools down by next week when I start back up again! Where in Texas are you? I'm outside of Austin.
