Got up 1/2 hour late this morning to reports of morning showers.

Got on the road, and felt a little stiff from the past two days fixie riding. Knee twinge. Got moving, loosened up, but slow.

Had to have the "feminist conversation" with workingman dood in pickup at the stop light, as he rudely commented on my fabulous posterior.

Immediately followed by obnoxious honking and doodette's comment "get on the sidewalk." Rain showers started, not too heavy.

Rain lets up several miles later, gray and windy.

Make it up the first of my two hills. Then a bird shat on my face and arm. Luckily I was quickly wash up with my water bottle.

Back on the road and a couple miles later more rain, heavier now. I still haven't bothered to but on the rain jacket. Oh, yeah, I'm pms-ing, too.

All said and done, I got to work on time. Another 20 miles to go home. I'm hating people and autos, and birds now. Hopefully the ride home will be an improvement over the morning.
