cold and clear this morning. i noticed frost on some of the leaves in the gutter when i stopped to adjust my saddle, but it's not that chilly to ride in (so far).

left home at about 8:40. this has to be just about the worst time i could pick, with school arrivals and all the last-ditch drivers all over the route just getting into their cars and peeling out on their way to work. that and having the sun in my eyes every time i checked east on the cross-streets slowed me down this morning on my way in. i've noticed that it really doesn't seem to make much overall difference though.

someone was already using My shower stall when i got into the club! oh, the outrage.

coming home was sure a nice night. there was a heck of a wind blowing, but i'd planned to just go easy anyway so it was no real bother until i found myself having to work a bit coming down the slope of the bridge. now that's a wind, but it was that big gusty not-too-cold wind that feels so much like october, so it was neat. something-awful-but-i-don't-know-what had traffic crawling all the way over the bridge; even fighting wind and slacking on my way up i passed most of it.

leaving work i forgot my runners under my desk. had myself all the way changed before i noticed, so i had to go back in for them in my full top-gun outfit. heh; hoping to escape notice while rustling with windproofing and flashing all over with lemon-yellow and reflective tape. not much of a hope, but luckily almost no-one was left and i only got one double-take.

hooray for friday. that's the kind of day that i like.
