Boy howdy has it been crazy humid this week! Tuesday morning's commute included a d-bag in a 90's Civic coupe who was approaching me on an uphill, 2-lane road. I crested the hill and could see a car oncoming so I stuck my left hand out, palm flat facing backwards to try to make him stay behind until the other car passed. But he decided to just come on anyway and I *seriously* thought I was going to have to bail into the ditch to avoid shrapnel from a head-on car collision. But the oncoming car slowed to a near stop and pulled off a bit to keep from hitting the Civic.

I SWEAR what is up with people??

I also avoided rain on the way in Tuesday, but it had just rained and was very wet, so my bike still got pretty nasty. Took a short detour on the way home to vote in the primary elections for national senate seat in my state.

This morning seemed cooler, but still super humid and the Sweat Gutr thingy isn't really doing jack squat. I had to stop 2 or 3 times this morning to wipe burning sweat out of my eyes. Nice ride going home, too. Avoided rain and storms again, and it was cooler. Rode a bit faster than usual thanks to wind.
