It was already dark last night when I headed out to get groceries so I dug out the downlow glow, and the blinkie for the trailer. And the battery for the downlow glow. Once I'd found all that, and gotten the trailer hooked up, it was good and truly dark. Very nice ride.

Today's 2 rides to campus and back were nice too. It's been hovering just around freezing. That is just cold enough to keep me from sweating much but not so cold I'm uncomfortable. This is great weather to bike in.

On the ride home, I had all my lights with me, having found them last night, so I didn't have to worry about it being already dark.

Recently I've had 2 honks that I couldn't decide if they were being friendly or not? Every time that I've been able to ascertain the intention of those quasi-honks, it was unfriendly, so I suspect not, but it puzzles me. What is with this half-hearted harassment? Are they feeling intimidated by the new bicycle harassment ordinance?
