It was tough to get out of bed this morning. I had to keep telling myself how good it would feel once I got into work, and what would I do if this were the only means of transportation I had? That little pep talk worked, and yes I do feel good. There was a great deal of lightening to the south (in other words, the direction I was headed) this morning but fortunately- or unfortunately, depending on how you look at these things- I am not fast enough to catch a thunderstorm

. Very little traffic, no rain, it was a good ride. I am a little envious of those of y'all reported temps in the 60s' and below. I don't remember what that feels like.
