Once again, winter has failed to arrive as planed. Looked out the window when I got up and no snow... dry as a bone, and a balmy 38F to boot.
Starting to get light on the way in. Not sure if it's the sun coming up earlier or if I'm just being lazy and leaving later. Most likely a combination of both.

At the start of my climb to the office, there is a 1/2 mile speed up/right turn lane. A tanker truck is coming up and not giving an inch. He passes within a foot or 2 to my left. [There was nobody in the next lane] The funny part was that when he got to the right turn, he went all the way into the next lane to make the corner. Guess he values the concrete curb more than the local cyclist.... sigh.
I guess I've been riding long enough that these things don't even spoil the ride. Idiots are becoming a common part of the landscape. The trick is to stay out of their way.
