Yeeeeeeaaah, that's it!! And this is only my 3rd or 4th commute, and I never exit the 'hood by that route unless I'm on my bike *and* going to work (all car routes are different.) Uh huh!

Umm, no, that's not working . . . I still feel like a doofus.

But as of this week, I'm now able to have a more regular commuting routine, so the unfamiliarity should wear off quickly!
