Bike Commute Part II

Didn't mean to leave y'all hanging there thinking, "Did he or didn't he make it back home? Why isn't there a Part II? Did he fall into the Truckee River" Nah. I just got lazy and busy and didn't have time to finish the bike commute saga.

The ride back to my car was actually better than the ride to work earlier in the morning. Even though it was really windy, it was mostly at my back and my side so it actually helped me. I made much better time. The tricky traffic spots weren't too bad, and I learned about a different route I might try next time. All in all, it was a positive experience and when I got back to the car I felt exhilarated and satisfied. Strangely enough, the moment I pulled my car out onto the main road I ended up in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Just wanted to mention how saddened I am by the death of George Carlin. I saw him perform once at the Civic Center in San Rafael. He wasn't too funny that night, but I think that was a rare exception. Do a search on YouTube and you'll find a bazillion videos that will have you rolling on the floor (unless you're a conservative and/or have no sense of humor!) Here's a classic bit about football and baseball.
