Speedy Gonzales, Yup, That's Me

For the first time in about 3 weeks I actually made it to work and back home within my normal time.

The snow was pretty much gone, this morning, but I knew it was supposed to snow in the afternoon. So, I aired the tires on the pink bike up to 50 psi, and took off. Thirty three minutes later, and I was at the lab.

Ten minutes before I left to come home, I looked outside and saw the snow coming down sideways. It was beginning to stick on the road, but traction was still good. I left the higher air pressure in the tires and hauled butt for the house.

Forty six minutes of headwind, wet snow and little to no visibility later, I was back at the house.

Every time I write one of these, "it's so snowy" entries, I think of Jill Up In Alaska. She makes me feel like a sissy to even mention the weather here in Denver!

  1. I can make you feel less like a sissy. it's 'sposed to be 74 degrees today. And this is winter, thus I'm dutifully wearing my long sleeved shirts.

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.

Anonymous comments are still gladly accepted.

So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
