Warm and Cozy

Starbucks is warm and cozy and has been since I arrived at 6am!

Early start this morning, guess going to be at 9:30 made me wake up even earlier. Already spent 40 on the trainer, probably do so again this afternoon. When the weather sucks its nice to have that set up. But, seems like I have been riding it more and more and less and less outside.

Speaking of outside riding, NPR did a pc on the cyclist in Cal that had the altercation with the car. The outcome of that altercation was better than the one locally where a local fireman shot a guy in the helmet. Luckily for that guy, his child who was in a child carrier on the bike and his wife the fireman missed the guys head and it only went through his helmet. The fireman got 120 days.....

The whole situation is getting out of hand IMO. I really think the news media and their constant hate campaigns against whatever then can stir up is carrying over to the real world. To easy behind the wheel of a car to act tough and take cheap shots at not only cyclist but other cars.

I will admit there are as many poor examples set by cyclist as there are drivers, but thats no excuse for EITHER side to carry on like they are, maybe its time for some education on the behalf of both sides.
