Still cold.

Quick fifty-five today, but got-damn if it wasn't the worse day since the weekend. Why? Because it's still cold. I'm in California, in Crescent City, but so far that just means there are more cars and agriculture. It's still cold. Accuweather RealFeel of 51 degrees, in fact. That's 57 accounting for some windchill and such. I wonder how many more degrees I get to knock down for being on a bike. OH JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING

Northwest Cable News confirmed my suspicions by stating that temperatures are anywhere from 6 to 10 degrees cooler than usual for this time of year throughout the Northwest. Very pleasant if you drive and walk around! People love sweater weather, and autumnal gusts are wonderful if you're standing with a group of friends, huddling! But these things suck when you've got a 6-inch shoulder and you're going 38 mph down a curvy road. And every other vehicle passing you is an RV or truck creating its own climate system in its wake.

It's a shame that all I can think about or notice is the wind and cold. This would have been a great car road trip. I miss enjoying my bicycle. Still, this is okay.


Whatever, I'm in California. I should feel happy about that, even if I see that NY will be having temps in the low 80s for the next few days. WTF I SHOULD HAVE STAYED OUT EAST I AM MISSING THE BEST AUTUMN WEATHER

I'm not calling you fat. Just making the point that when I have degenerative knees and hips in 30 years, at least I won't be a shameful pop culture reference.
