I'm dog and house sitting for a friend for a week (starting yesterday night, I rode to her house after work) so I have use of her SUV. I don't own a car so it's kind of novel to have one sitting in the driveway outside the house. Tempting me to drive to work instead of cycling. lol. Before I went to bed last night I looked at my bike map and figured out the best route to take from her house to work. The route I took yesterday night was not ideal, but I went that way because I wanted to get there quickly while it was still light out. The drivers were all very courteous, and passed nicely using the open lane next to me (four lane road with a median down the middle, not much traffic), except for one a-hole in a white pickup who felt it was his duty to lay on the horn and buzz me way too close going way over the speed limit... but then I was, you know, blocking his road and riding in his lane.

The ride in this morning was nice. Everything was super frosty, which is always very pretty. Especially since the sun was coming up and making it all sparkle.
