Nice cool morning, but still warm enough to ride without the jacket. But, it was very chilly for about a mile.

More cars on the road now that school has begun. This causes me problems at two intersections which have green arrows for right turn lanes that I have to cross through. Worst is when SUV's and other hard to see around vehicles are stopped in the left lane while those in the right fly through the white crosswalk lines without even slowing down. I creep across those roads and force a car to stop. I hate it.

Also, saw a dog sniffing along the curb as I rode through a small neighborhood on the edge of the city. It was a pit mix of some sort. So, I took a detour to go around that pooch before it could see me. I preferred to not taking any chances on that mutt.
