Four days this week so far. I'm thinking about driving tomorrow so that I can swap out clothing/towel/food stores for next week. Either that, or drive back to work over the weekend just for logistics.

Pleasantly cool temperatures and light fog made for a nice ride this morning.

Yesterday, my wife and I had a driver honk repeatedly at intervals while following us on a 2-lane each way road with little shoulder. We were toward the fog line, with ample room to pass within the right lane. But his person just kept honking at times. A single honk. I looked back and waved her(him?) to pass. No dice. So, I took the lane fully. I told my wife that if this driver is unsure of herself (himself?) in negotiating a pass, then we're safer with her (him?) changing lanes to pass. It all resolved itself in about 1/2 mile, and our road narrowed to one lane with an ample shoulder again. Strange. I still don't know what I'd have done differently.
