Good ride in the morning, sun coming up over the hills. My old commute into downtown Rochester was always away from the sun in the morning, now I am heading south so the sun is off to my left most of the time and sometimes in my face, but I still enjoy it more than behind me. When I got the the security gate at work I was waved through by the guy in the booth and going through the raised gate right behind the car in front of me but then the gate was starting to come down, the guard standing there was like, "whoa, hold it!" but I had already ducked through and was gone down the main road.

On the ride home right before I got to my apartment I saw a fat little raccoon slowly waddling across the street, coming from my side. He got halfway and then a car coming from the other direction scared him back a little, then he continued on. I saw another car coming fast and waved and pointed down at the raccoon and they slowed down, and the fat little guy safely passed to the other side and disappeared into some bushes. Gotta watch out for the critters.
