I never felt like I should jump into these "How as your commute?" threads very often before, since I would only ride to work sporadically. But, now it's on.
95% humidity this morning, they say. At least it wasn't rain. Saw the usual nice assortment of birds along our river trail (Los Angeles - herons, geese, ducks, stilts, even a gull his morning), and some (for us) high water after the weekend's rain.
Welcome to the thread. I thought it was a bit silly at first, but there are a few regulars and we get to know each other. Kind of like meeting friends at a coffee shop every so often. We share little fun details of life that humanize it.
This will also be a way to hold yourself accountable, right? ;-)
