43 this morning... gonna be colder and raining when i leave work.
i don't mind cold on the way in, but i just don't want to do it both directions...
with 25,000 miles in 28 months, i get my miles in. it's all good. winter doesn't last long in Dallas - usually 2 or 3 days at a time, then it goes back to "not summer"
