Consecutive bicycle work commute number 2194:

Woke up to thick fog. Visibility was probably 100 feet or less. Interestingly enough, I think this freaked out the drivers enough that today was one of the easier rides I've had as far as interacting with traffic. There were fewer cars on the road than normal, and those that were out drove much more cautiously. When I was waiting at stop signs I had at least five different instances where drivers came to a stop when they clearly had the right of way, just to allow me to cross the street or pull out and merge into traffic. I would make sure to give them a friendly wave of thanks.

The temp was 56°F, and there was an extremely light wind. I had a coagulation appointment at the hospital before work, so I rode there first. When I arrived I realized how damp I had gotten. There wasn't any rain falling and the pavement was dry, but the humidity was so high my clothes were pretty wet.

After my appointment I rewarded myself for a successful blood thinness check by stopping at a local Mexican taco shop for their shrimp and egg breakfast burrito. It was muy bueno.
