We're having a nice stretch of weather now here in Western Oregon, but unfortunately today is the only day I'm working in Salem and can bike commute. The bus from Stayton is always late now, and I can't make the connecting bus so I have to drive or ride my motorcycle. At least when I drive I can stop and go running on the way home. This morning was 40 degrees, dark and starry, and nice. I'm looking forward to the sunny ride home. I should get home about 6:00, exactly when it becomes dark.
