apriccisimus is right about the roads around Boston last night. Almost like they'd had enough. But now it seems they've dropped soooooooo much salt- like they're sick of plowing the stuff so they're just going to melt it away.

My bike is caked with salt. It's now a gray bike- it was black.

I wonder what it's doing to my blood pressure?

Today's ride in was fine and the ride home was likewise but it's a messy winter up here in Boston. 18〫F tonight and it feels comfortable so now I know it's mid-winter because I'm used to that. Amazing how adaptable the human body is- went without my mitten covers tonight and my hands were toasty. If it had dropped to 18〫in early December my hands would have been freeeeeeezing.
