Communiting

well - you got your own personal cheering section wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out here in the SouthWest cheering you on! I hope you enjoy commuting as much as I do! Right now it's Holy Week which means I'm driving more due to services and let me tell ya - I'm hating every time I climb in the truck. I have to keep pep-talking myself that it's Only for a week and then I can get back to my regular commute! Keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you all the best! Just remember, the first few times you may have some kinks you'll need to work out: you forgot to pack something, you over packed - whatever. Just don't give up....it'll work out and you'll never regret it!

I usually skirt a somewhat dubious neighborhood... but I've found that if I'm on my commuting bike I pretty much blend in (especially if I've got so many layers on you can't see I'm white). My pepper spray for the dogs is supposed to be pretty potent, too.
I had **two** honkers today (usually it's one every six months or so). ONe pointed pointedly at the bike path I wasn't using because it ended at the next intersection where I was going straight (and this guy turned right). I did some pointing and waving (all friendly) as if to educate him, because who knows. I think he was even looking back at me (utterly confused) as I waved and went straight foward (where it's even posted "no bicycles" on the sidewalk).
The second one was more or less unprovoked so I treated it as a friendly greeting and waved back. (However, you just can sorta tell, don't ask me why, when it's a friendly honk and when it's an "I wish you dind't exist!" honk.) It *is* a kinda small town... we might meet somewhere...
