Left early to swing by the office. Way more bicycle commuters near the hospitals than usual this morning, three other ones! Pleasantly cool, and I was surprised by how light traffic was. Summer, Friday, school hasn't started back -- OK, maybe I shouldn't have been THAT surprised.
Left early and took the long way home. Way long, enough to ride my age. Other than two more concrete plants setting up shop in the middle of nowhere and coating nice rural roads in choking clouds of lime dust, it was a nice ride. Flagman for some utility construction tried to give me a hard time, I had to wait for the OK instead of trying to ride down the right side of all those orange barrels. I told him I was going to wait for him to show me the "slow" sign, because that was obviously for me.
