Woke up to 50 degrees. I'll take it. At 50 I can still wear shorts. I do add a second layer on top and a lightweight summer biking cap under the helmet. Stars were amazing when I stepped outside. Made a stop at the grocery store for some fruit and some stuff for dinner tonight. Figure it's easier to grab it in the morning when the store is pretty much empty versus after work when it's a zoo. Going home today I should be hitting 10-20 mph head and quartering winds.

Last Friday my ride home was just one of those rides. Started using a blinking white light in front for my rides home through the side streets but it didn't help. Had a lady pull out and she just kept sliding over into me. She before she hit me she looked over and finally seen me. Bright clothes and flashing light is no help if they aren't looking. Got by the grocery store and an old lady waiting to get out of the lot wagged her finger at me. No idea why, the lane she was trying to get into was blocking her, not me. I wagged my finger back, smiled and then laughed. Down a back road as I approached a double set of train tracks the lights go off so I slow down and figure I would pull in behind this mini suv that was pulling up behind me. I have a left turn right after the tracks so I try to get in the line of cars when there's a train. She slows and matches my speed so I can't get behind her. Looking over she's texting on her phone. Just before the track clears I move up and then sprinted ahead. Just as she was pulling over to pass me on the left I threw up my arm to signal my turn and she had to hit the brakes and pull back behind me. Sure she wasn't happy but I wasn't happy with her texting and driving so I guess we were even.
