Yesterday's commute (missed the entry last night)

So, last night, I was (kind of) too peaved to blog about the commute, so I skipped out.  Let's see, it all started when I got called a tree hugger...  I'm not sure that I'm a tree hugger, but I totally believe in the protection and salvation of of the environment, especially our local, state and national parks.  I like to fish, so I want to be able to fish in the lakes and streams around here and I like to breathe clean air.  This has nothing to do with taking anyone's rights away, just don't be an idiot and trash out your area. 

So, on the way to work, I was gagged by car exhaust all the way to the school.  I got honked at by someone, I think who knew me, which is fine.  It was not a malicious thing, because they were waving, but I couldn't make out the face. 

The sunrise was gorgeous and the air was mild.  I'm waiting for the air to be cool and crisp, because thus far, I'm sweating when I arrive.  This is not good, because my sweat system is very intact and I sweat a lot.  Therefore, to combat this problem, I have made up a sweat survival kit in my classroom which contains:
1. small bottle of Camp Suds brand all-purpose wash
2. Deodorant
3. Cologne
4. Bathing wipes
5. Toothbrush and toothpaste
6. Microfiber towel that folds up to 3" x 3".

It was a good day at work.  I believe the bike helped.  The ride home was hot, but the heft of the panniers makes the bike descend like a rock, which is fun.
