Hello VLCC. I've started commuting recently after a long break - since Fall of last year. Anyhow, it's taking me longer now to do the 16 mile commute than it did before. I hope to get back to where I was in the next few weeks.

Anyhow, I had an interesting commute in this morning. I was at the end of my commute going downhill at over 20 mph and a squirrel jumped out of the bushes beside me and went under my front tire. It scared the $hit out of me. I even think I yelled - anyhow nothing happened and I just missed him. After I was thinking of what could have happened if I had hit him - we both would have been in bad bad shape.
