psuedo-snow!

first and foremost...it is amazing just how wet the front of your pants can get while the back stays bone dry. riding bike in the rain is fun. cold, but fun.

it snowed. albeit the snow melted upon contact, but it was snow none-the-less. keep your fingers crossed that snow season has indeed arrived.

i've simply got to get some fenders for the fixie. this ride annihilated me. my shoes are soaked....i can't feel my toes. my pant legs (front only) are soaked up to the mid-thigh level. my bum....well, hence the fenders comment....

anyway, i'm happy. it may be raining, and kind of crummy...but i'm taking it to be a sign that winter is on its way. i'm just hoping its coming fast.

on one last note, have you ever heard anyone say, "people sure drive crazy during the first snow?" i have. it is a totally, undoubtedly, beyond a doubt FACT. those suckers were out to kill me today. all day. and i was all over iowa city to and from work and class and the like. yep, crazy. i think people were so busy watching out for, and being careful in the snow, that they forgot to look out for me on my little bike. several sketchy incidents. grrrr.... but, thats their problem....as for me....

winter!!! yay!
