Nice ride this morning, bright moon, and that row of planets is still pretty. A little cold, but no headwind like yesterday. Unfortunately my train sat in Princeton Junction station for an hour while the police chased down a trespasser on the tracks farther north. One person on the tracks, and they closed down all rail traffic on the NE corridor for an hour! I'm not saying they should have done anything different... but what a waste of a lot of people's time. I just slept, so I didn't really mind so much.

Yesterday I found myself in the middle of a herd of deer on my ride to the station, and a couple minutes later came very close to getting too close to a skunk. An almost completely white skunk, too; black stripe from his head down his back to his tail, but below that the white stripes went almost to his legs. Or her, of course. I kept my distance.
