Rain at last! Cool at last!
After months of no rainfall and 20-odd 100 degree days in a row, things finally broke here. Rode in about 70 degrees his morning, loving that.

And had a close near collision with - are you ready - another bike commuter. I was downtown, I had the green light - one of the few today, since they seem to have gotten out of sync over the weekend - and this bozo, an older-than-me guy (50's?) on a hybrid, with a backpack, blows across on the sidewalk, popping out from behind a building right in front of me.

No finger was necessary, but I did bellow "Look out, Clown!", as I crossed in front of him. It was close enough that I expected to feel his front wheel hit my back one.
