That's a very glass-is-half-full kind of attitude, and I really wished that I could feel lucky to be facing a stiff headwind on both trips...but I always feel like if I fought the wind in the morning then I should be paid back in kind on the way home, or if I got a free ride in the morning I don't mind paying back in the afternoon. Fair is fair, right?
