Makes sense. I didn't see him this morning. Left earlier today.
I saw one guy outside a house standing next to a bicycle and throwing a backpack over his shoulders. Yet another commuter, I'd guess. I also came up behind a guy on an old road bike like mine. He must not have known I was back there when he let out a huge burp.
Temps in the low 60s. Pretty humid. Headwind. Not too bad though.
Oh! Excitement!
There's a big bank building next door and there are cops all over, hiding behind bushes and walls, and a news crew. I wonder what's going on.
