I thought I would be late for work but I ended up being early.

I need to recalibrate. It will be a while before my routes are refined, as usual for a new job. I'm trying to decide if I like the Manhattan Bridge or the Brooklyn Bridge better. They're right next to each other. The Brooklyn Bridge was very scenic when it was a combined bike and pedestrian path. But now they've carved out a 2-way bike lane out of one lane from the roadway. It's not scenic anymore but it's functional. The Manhattan Bridge is the one I always thought of as "all business," and that's sometimes what I want. But it has the trains running on them, some right next to the bike lane. This morning I realized that the noise is so loud that it's stressful. So now maybe the Brooklyn Bridge will be my preferred one.

This morning I took the Manhattan Bridge and this afternoon the Brooklyn Bridge, and that's how I had the thoughts above. Also, a cool breeze crossed the bridge in the afternoon, and it felt lovely.
