Question is eye vs. visual field in both eyes. "Ocular migraine" is a very rare phenomenon and affects a single eye and can look like it's right in the middle of the visual field. I don't think I've ever seen a case. Classic migraine, which is common as dirt, and which I've had from time to time, produces a "scintillating scotoma" in one visual field of both eyes because it arises in the visual cortex. However, people routinely think it's in one eye.
Your "far to the left" description, plus good old Bayesian figgerin' leads me strongly to think this is classic migraine. However, if was really one eye, all bets are off and you need to talk to a real doctor.

Cold ride today, made worse by ****ty gloves. I'd evidently never worn them on a bike ride before, because they were bad enough that I don't plan on wearing them on a bike ride ever again. They're some 45Nrth Sturmfists, and they're supposed to be great cycling gloves, but the fingers/thumb are too damn short, which cause two problems: really ****ty grip/control when on the hoods and freeeeeeeezing fingertips (the insulation in the tips was being compressed by my fingers, and compressed insulation is pretty damn worthless). I had set out to do 40+ miles, but decided to do a bare minimum on the MUP instead - with less steering/braking concern, I could ride the tops and pull my thumbs out of the glove thumbs and tuck them in with the palms to warm them up.
I'm now having a slice of the leftover bday key lime pie as consolation.

Then you're fine. I get headaches and "prodromes," too, and have never had the two together. The trigger, if knowable, in any particular case could be virtually anything. I got my first prodrome after being up all night on call, going for a hard swim, drinking a huge pot of coffee, and having my wife tell me she was pregnant for the first time.

That's the thing that sucks - it's just that the fingers are short. The palm area is very generous, so sizing up prolly wouldn't have worked.

Professionally made. No idea on the specifics. One of the local restaurants sells it by the slice, but I did some sleuthing and found a lead on which of the local bakeries was likely providing them. The wife followed up on that lead and surprised me with it.

Fatty.
Why waste a freezing finger bike ride with a big piece of pie?

My office manager brought me a lunch from the all you can eat Indian place. I don’t eat lunch. Had some. Delicious. Rode home. Now have an interval w/o on the trainer to get through. Could be ugly!

Third day in a row rideless. Did I lose my mojo again? I will make the commitment to mount the gp4ks2 tires and that will surely inspire me to get out and try them. Our weather, unfortunately, remains uncomfortably warm and humid.

These are the best things ever. They are a great accessory on cold days that fit nicely in a vest pocket, which I know I wear if I bust these out.

Your wife is a keeper. Key lime pie is one of the great tastes of our time. Tony Mandola, here in Houston, makes it with sliced banana layered in the lime filling like a banana cream pie. Now that is special.
