Interesting that we're having different weather than some other areas. Sometimes it's basically the same in the northeast as in the midwest and the southeast. I've been reading about heavy rain in some places and about very hot days in other places. Here it has been extremely pleasant and cool. People complain about how spring doesn't bring us much spring weather any more, and that's true, but the past two weeks have been spectacular. Today is one of the best days. I can tell when the barometric pressure is high, because my mood goes way up, and everyone I see seems to be extra good looking.

I took Citi Bike to work because I won't be cycling home today. The wind was insane, much stronger than normal. The Citi Bike bikes weigh about 50 pounds, and they have a very upright position, so fighting the headwind was hard. But I was in a good mood anyway.

The weather web pages are so wrong about the wind. It says 3 mph with gusts up to 9 mph. It's much more than that on the river.
