Welcome back!

Yes, welcome back, Mimi. I hope you had a good trip.

DH finished work early, and came into town to meet me to ride home with me this afternoon. Was nice to have company, and a fast wheel to ride going home!
Coming into our neighborhood, you go in one block to a stop sign, take a left, and we're a few streets in on the right. Everyone pretty much ignores the stop sign - motorists and cyclists alike - because the street off to the right is a dead end and rarely has cars coming out of it. Traffic from the left nearly always turns right at the street you're on, so folks just roll it. I usually roll it on my bike. I was telling DH that yesterday, I actually had to stop, because there was a car coming from my right, taking a left onto the street I was on. So, I stopped and put a foot down and waited. Meanwhile, a woman in a minivan came up behind me and tooted. It was strange, I told DH. It was the first time I ever got tooted at for NOT running a stop sign!
