Well, count me blessed! I caught up with Hose twice this week. He commutes along my route about 5 or 10 minutes ahead of me, and if I'm early enough I can see him up ahead. This morning about 6:45 it was very quiet on the road, so we could actually take up as much as two lanes and chat, moving into single file every now and then.

A lot more fun than listening to radio DJ chatter. People really need to get out more...
