Took the bus this morning for the first time since last winter.

Turns out I could have ridden my bike. The wet streets did not refreeze, at least along my route. But I suppose it's better to be cautious.

Back on the bike tomorrow.

In any event, I was curious about how many familiar faces I would see on the old 43..

The answer: A few. But most of the STA riders were people I cannot recall having seen before.

Maybe some of them saw me and wondered "Hey, who's this new guy?"

Nah. Probably not. My guess is that, at 5:55 a.m., most of us are still busy questioning the wisdom of leaving our good homes.
