Another no-foot-down commute. (I really didn't think it was such a big deal, especially once you get the timing of the lights on your route.)

Anyway, today's weather was perfect: high 40s, calm, and clear. I wore chinos and a button down shirt and was perfectly comfortable. The only thing that bothers me once it gets below 50F is my hands (I just have the wimpiest cold tolerance in my extremities. Even my wife, who's an Original Valley Girl, has less trouble with the cold when we ski). But with a pair of $2 rag gloves from Rite-Aid, I was just fine.

Had the panniers fully loaded with a backpack full of gym clothes and a couple of binders of boring legal stuff. Once I got up to speed, I was going to be hard to stop. Luckily, I made nearly all the lights.
