For the first time since this spring, I could see my breath! It was 37 degrees when I left the house. I need mittens to go over my gloves. Other than my hands and my little nose, though, I stayed warm.

Nice ride, by the way. Traffic was polite, stoplights were in my favor, and the stars were even brighter and prettier than normal. I know, they're always the same stars, but some days they just show up better.

When I got to work, one of the paramedics (who is also a bike commuter) complimented me on how well I was lit up. Score!
