    Today was the first day, in my entire life, I biked to work. I got an old mixte a few weeks ago, my first bike in over a decade. It's about as old as I am and I LOVE it.

    My bike is awesome and I feel awesome.

    Warm and Windy all week this week over this side of the world as well

    First week back commuting after a week long break due to the flu - still chesty and a little congested, but I feel so much better being out there on the bike rather than being stuck in a car or on the bus

    Hot, hot, hot. 90s for the ride home.

    And needed to get groceries at lunch. So it was a perfect opportunity to try out my new insulated grocery bag and ice mat. Kept the stuff in the office fridge all afternoon. Eggs, spring mix, mushrooms, and cheese were the primary "cold" things. Also got some fruit, rolls, and assorted whatnots. Loaded up the bag before I left - cold stuff on the bottom, room temp stuff at the top. Slid it snuggley into my POS grocery pannier. Rode home in the blast furnace. Worked like a champ. Cool stuff remained cool for my 40 minutes on the road. I don't think I'd put ice cream in there, but if I had a lot of frozen stuff (frozen dinners or whatnot), I think it'd be fine. So...a successful first test of my grocery bags in the heat. Yay.

    I just started a new thread about my commute, but here's the condensed version: stuff thrown at me, 911, they got caught with a bunch of stolen goods in their car, bad guys off the street. And I had tail winds both ways! Yay.
