We'll just see waht happens if/when it snows here on a work day. There's a perfectly good bus line but I d on't know which one to get on yet. I might just get up a whole lot earlier for the adventure of the travel - that was my inclination when I had my car, but if I hadn't driven in more than two weeks I'd drive so the caterpillars and squirrels didn't move into the engine. And when it snowed it was a blizzard so I dind't have to go to work.
I have 981 miles to go... we'll see
Uh - well, I can see why Sorry, I get my conversions mixed up sometimes, I meant 3-4 cm. Which isn't *that* impressing

Today was a terrible commute. Icy roads, as in completely covered with hard shiny rutted ice, with rainwater streaming all over it. The perfect frictionless surface we used to read about in Physics class. I balanced myself carefully through the first few quiet roads, and happily got to the ice-free bike path without crashing. Then it started raining with a vengeance. When the rain stopped half an hour later, I hit another long icecovered stretch and very almost went down. Thankfully the final stretch down a busy road was icefree, or I would have had to balance along the narrow and bumpy sidewalk.

But still - after hanging all my soaking gear in the drying cupboard (we have one at work!! I love my job ) - I still felt I'd had a pretty neat start to the day...

750 km to go. Have to pick up my mileage as soon as this filthy weather gives me a break. Go, Geonz!
