And . . .
It was a beautiful day. It started coolish at 24F/-4C but by the afternoon the mercury climbed to very delightful 50F/10C. Why didn't I ride? More fallout from losing my keys. By the time I could leave the parking lot last evening the gate wouldn't open when I swiped my parking pass. This meant I had to leave the lot in a rather unorthodox way. I wasn't sure if the card reader would let me in this morning. Since the weather might be less than ideal tomorrow I decided not to put this potential inconvenience off until tomorrow when I could deal with it today. Of course, the reader recognized my card right off. At least I know there is no problem.
The sunset tonight was more smokey orange than fire,
What it lacked in intensity it made up for in longevity. It seem determined to hang on.
The major good thing about not riding today was not having to ride on the gunk the melt-em brine manufactures when it mixes with the oil on the streets. The trucks were out in force getting ready for our "snow event". Last I checked, the forecast was for less than an half of inch of accumulation possible. Oh well, I guess better to be safe than sorry.
And, by the way, I still haven't found my keys. I suspect I never will.
I like those sunsets that hang on long after the sun has vanished....as to your keys, I've lost my share as well.
ReplyDeleteI've been quite fortunate. This will be the only the second set of keys I've lost ... and I found the first pair when we moved out of the house we were renting. I'm not hopeful of finding these. A real mystery.
DeleteIt pains me- like mental breakdown pain- to say that it looks like you are getting pre-Spring skies. I can look, but can't touch. It's 5 degrees here with fresh snow on top of the 8 or 9 we just got.
ReplyDeleteNot that this is unusual. It's pretty typical weather for us both.It's just that I really can't take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate that you lost your keys. What would you do if you found keys? I have no idea who or what I'd contact.
I see by your last response to me that maybe your keys have been kidnapped. Not good.
DeleteI don't think they were kidnapped. I'm just out of places to look. So, if they turn up it will be as if they found me. I'm not expecting such an outcome.
DeleteNice catch with the sky reflection.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I looked up as I was going into the building across the street and there it was. I thought it looked cool and it pretty much turned out like I saw it. It's amazing how different the photo can sometime be from what I'm seeing.
