I counted 5 cars driving in the dark this morning with no lights on. They must think they are saving gas.

Fast commute this morning after taking the day off yesterday. I made a good call driving yesterday because it rained much of the day and then heavy fog settled in during the time I would have been riding home. The fog developed very suddenly but was gone by this morning.

I was underdressed a little because it's supposed to be sunny and "warm" this afternoon, thus I had to ride faster to build up some body heat. So I got to work about 5 minutes quicker than usual and added another mile or so to my commute to make it an even hour. When I got to work I found that our building supervisor finally fixed our shower, which has had cold water only for the past 3 years. I had complained about it numerous times to no avail, until I found out one day that the other shower -- the handicapped one, which I had never used -- only has hot water. When I brought that to the attention of our building manager, he finally realized that something wasn't right and got it fixed. The squeaky wheel gets the oil ... eventually.
