Ride home Friday night was very nice - great weather these days here in N Texas. Got in a few miles this weekend for the first time in forever, which was great. Had a bit of a chilly ride in this morning - mid-fifties, and I didn't bother to put socks on under my sandals. Toes a bit cold, but most of the rest of me was comfortable.

Coming up a small rise on a very nice, peaceful, rural two-lane road this morning, and heard a car come up behind me. Driver backed off like he was going to wait for me to clear the rise, then I hear the engine rev a bit like he's getting impatient just as I can see over the top and see a car coming at us in the other lane. I started shaking my head "no" to hopefully clue the guy in that it wasn't exactly the best time to try to go around me, and he backed off a bit. Then, after he passed in the clear on the downhill side, he gave a wave out the back window of his jeep - I think it was even a friendly one! I guess he was paying attention or something. One of my better interactions with drivers since I've been doing this commute. Most times there's no real interaction, but when there is, it usually involves me being on the receiving end of some inverted compliment... Looks like 85 with wind at my back for most of the ride home tonight. Headed to change now - can't wait to get outside!
