Where have all the potties gone, indeed!!!!

(It's worse when you have three or four layers on, too.)

The infamous "Howard" was less than 150 miles behind me, so I was inspired to add 3 miles to my church commute, then grab the camelbak and head out for 22 miles in the 22 mph winds and the 18 degree temperatures. 35 degrees would have been balmy!!! (Of course, as much of the ride was with the wind as against it!)

Tomorrow might be in single digits so I'll add those rain pants. During the into-the-wind parts, my legs were feeling the chill even through three layers. Then again, the commute's only 7 miles and in town... but I might just have to add a little more; I only gained 10 miles on Howard and his temps will be in the 40's tomorrow. Four weeks to try to stay ahead of him (Don't tell him, though, that I work at a college, though I'm "staff" and have to be there more often than you'd think, I *do* have the whole last week of the year OFF without a mess of obligations. So if I can make it 'til the 22... that's less than three weeks...
