Beautiful day today, a balmy 21F this morning, the robins were singing,
a woodlot full of tapped sugar maples on the way to work.

Riding through the top of a T intersection with a minor road on my
right, they have a stop sign, I see a small car that seems not likely to
even slow, much less stop. Fortunately the oncoming lane is empty, and
I swing out past the yellow line, right alongside the car. Curses
(literally, and loudly, but to no effect, windows are closed). I can
see the driver, a fat girl, looking down at her cell phone in her
gearshift hand, grinning like a fool.

I tried to catch up to her, but the next light was green for her and red
for me.

Hey, nobody died, just venting.

In my area it was about 37 this morning. I took a ride out to Bay Farm Island and as I got there I was being hit in the face with something hard. Must have been some sort of sticks or dust thrown off of somewhere. I looked around and discovered that it was rain drops at that point just between water and hailstones. They were small and it was very brief. I don't remember seeing that around here before. Though it was common enough up at Lake Tahoe.
