well I guess it's officially March

When it's spring-like for 2 days then suddenly turns to winter in an instant.  Remember how beautiful  my commute was the other day?  Yeah, it was nothing like that today.  It seems we have a touch of bi-polar in the weather.  In like a lamb, guess that means it's going out like a lion. ROAR!!
See that flag up there? That's a strong northerly wind.  A cold wind (like there's such a thing as a warm northerly wind, right).  Brrrrr... had to stop and put on a hat, then stop and put on my full finger gloves, and then stop to pull my wool socks up to my knicker bottoms.

Yeah- I looked pretty darn cool (in Nerd World).

Since I was stopped so much- I figured I might as well get a picture of me. I look thrilled (notice the Elvis lip curl signaling my displeasure at my frequent stops and my ever-slowing pace into the wind).

The trail I was on parallels the highway so I looked over at the highway with all those wretched fools driving in their cars.  They don't know what they're missing.

They're missing the freezing cold north wind, the almost-blow-you-down gusts, the... WAIT- maybe for once they have it better than me.
Oh WOW- I had a momentary lapse of intelligence/perspective there.  There's NO WAY they have it better than me.  Sure they have their awesome cage protecting them from the elements and their satellite radio and their really, really warm heater turned all the way up keeping their toes all toasty and their fancy seat warmers keeping their tushy toasty... DANG IT!  Why didn't I drive??


OK- I'm better now.  I might have been cold, but I still had it better. I might have been fighting the elements, but it sure did feel good to be moving outside!  Moving slowly, moving unsteadily in the wind, moving forward.  Moving all the same.  And it felt GREAT!!!

So like life, the ride continues...
