Yeah, that's rough.

We're about 10° cooler than you it looks like. It's not quite warming up like what was forecast though :(

I was thinking about trying to break 50 miles for the first time this year but I think that may need to wait for tomorrow.

Dang! More rough news.

My older brother and I were talking about this a few days ago. It’s a good time to be retired with so many people around us struggling with their future.

If we make 52°, it’s going to be late in the day because it’s only 37° now at almost noon.

I've got to say, working at a place that supplies parts for government contracts is a huge pain a lot of the time, but it's certainly making things easier right now. I feel very very fortunate that not a lot has changed for me.

Speaking of reply to all, we received one of those from a gal fortunate enough to be able to work at home from the onset.

Same here, except being a very tiny and almost insignificant cog inside a soul-crushing megabank. However, stable, upper-middle-class employment for the past decade and a half. Which is also "since I graduated college". I hope I keep the perspective to never complain again.

I agree, and unusual to two see tires with two colors, much less matching a bike with the same two colors.

I miss the first tyres I'd put on there after yanking the stock 2-pound brown wire beads. These were apparently race-day CX treads though, as I chewed them up in no time...

Probably 80% anxiety and 20% day lengthening. My natural wake-up time ordinarily is about 45 minutes before daybreak. Lately I have been awakening even earlier.

Good news is I went out at daybreak and finished my 3 1/2 hour ride while the family was still in sleep/morning mode.

I have a noon teleconference with my office partners. We are likely going to talk about shutting the office completely and having everyone work from home with a skeleton crew of 2-3 nurses and one non-clinical worker, plus the 5 docs. Sad. We are hemorrhaging $$$ and even with the furloughs and telemedicine it's looking grim.
