BRISK!

Clear and 45 degrees with a slight headwind. Halfway to downtown I got passed by a guy who said, "Wow, it's a cold one today eh?!" ... so that was kind of cool. Most of the people I pass or who pass me are stoic. Not sure what gives in this town.

Last night's ride home was a bit of a character builder, chilly and rainy to start, but had stopped raining by the time I got home.

So I was reading the Journal Sentinel this morning, and reading an article about "anti-monuments" (I got hooked into the article because it featured a picture of a ghost bike that I ride past often) and I learned something. Often, particularly on my ride home, there is a fairly burly, always shirtless man walking the same direction as me. He is a VERY determined walker. Not a strider or anything like that, because his brawn wouldn't allow something like that, but he's very determined. So that's what I called him, "Shirtless Determined Walker."

Apparently, as I found out in the article, he's quasi famous around here, and people have dubbed him the "Milverine" because he sort of looks like Wolverine. Someone started a facebook page in his honor (I'd link to it but can't from work) and there's also a twitter account of some sort. Cracked me up.
