Oh, I didn't commute on my bike today. Didn't think I could handle 60 mph gusts on the way home, especially on the unfamiliar new bike. So I drove. I've done 43 commutes so far this year, Nicole.
Regina, the Big Bad Woof is great. Lots of all-natural foods (they're big on raw foods) and lots of beds, toys, etc. Expensive, but good stuff. It's a block from the Takoma Metro at the corner of Maple and Carroll Avenues, so you could probably get there at lunchtime on the Metro if you wanted. I pass it every day on my way home from work on my bike, so if you want me to pick up anything just let me know.
